Bloomberg - Are you a robot?Below are the 50 most developed countries in the world ranked according to the UN Human Development index which measures development and standard of living through estimates of GDP per capita, life expectancy, and education. There are a total of 197 countries in the world today. 193 of those countries are part of the United Nations. 45 out of the 50 most developed countries in the world below provide UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE for its citizens, essentially medicare for all. The following are the five countries from the list below that do not:
01. Cyprus
02. United Arab Emirates
03. Qatar
04. Bahrain
05. United States
Cyprus is currently In the process of moving to a Universal Healthcare system which will be completed in a few years. That will leave the United States alone with three Arab countries as being the only countries, of the 50 most developed in the world, that do not have Universal HealthCare.
Why does the United States, the wealthiest country in the world and the 3rd wealthiest per captia country, still not provide Universal Healthcare for its citizens? How could anyone say that Universal HealthCare is impossible or too expensive for the United States when nearly all of the 50 most developed countries in the world provide it for its citizens?

Let me answer, let me answer!
Because the country doesn't provide it, the citizens do.
Tell us all--------------> Lets pick SWITZERLAND------------>what is the LOWEST tax rate paid in that country by the poorest people?
Have you told the poorest Americans yet what their tax rate would have to be for them to provide free healthcare for everyone-)
OK, fair enough, but I have a question----------->
What was the tax rate paid by the forbearers of the heirs, as they accumulated that money? Same as the doctor!
So now, we are down to, and back to---------->who did what with the money they made. And YOU are trying to foster resentment, by insisting that because the forefathers of the heirs were smart, they must be evil.
Just listen to YOUR logic! You and I make exactly the same amount of money. You invest while denying yourself things in the here and now to do it. After 40 years, you retire to a golfing community, I can't. That makes you bad, or evil? EXPLAIN please!
