Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

The US is the ONLY first world nation without universal health care.

Also, medical expenses are the number one cause of bankruptcies in the US. Medical bankruptcies simply don't exist in other countries.

This is why I argue that the US is not a first world nation. It is a very rich third world nation. First world nations protect their citizenry through universal health care that benefits us all. A country that doesn't do that - through choice, or because it can't afford to - is de facto not first world.
