      Came to say this. So beyond the time. How did this become a thing anywhere before america. He we are threatened on all sides by the health insurance gap for decades and our politicians are fine with all our enemies surpasing us.

        What a strange way to see the world around you: “all our enemies surpassing us”, “how did this become a thing anywhere before america”

        Your country is really young so it’s normal others countries got it before you. And why this “ennemy” flag on us? Can’t we have free health care without becoming an enemy of the USA?

        A LOT of things Americans love to say (globally, not necessarily you) as being “the first in the world” or "the best of the world " is usually true if the world was just America. But it’s far from being true.

          sorry this was sarcasm tilted toward my more progressive american brethen or older ones. There was a big thing about gaps in the eighties and there is a simpsons episode that makes fun of it with these songs the piano player plays at the point they are at the capitol called cesspool on the potomac. Unfortunately I cannot find the relevant clip. So it was literally like politicians saying we can’t abide an X gap where X was size of the military, deficit, some random technology considered important, etc. Usually in terms of military capability.
