We’re blessed to be born American.
We’re born in the richest country in the world.
There are enough jobs to go around at the moment (less than 4% of the population are unemployed at the time of publishing.)
When you compare the USA to countries like India, where more than 60% of the population live on less than $3.20 per day, we’re in a pretty good place.
There’s a lot of things most Americans can afford to do.
95% of American households own a car, for example.
But, there’s one thing Americans can’t afford.
And that’s to get sick.
As you can see from the infographic, the USA spends around twice as much per person.
The main reason for that seems to be because everything costs more:
A day in the hospital costs 1,200% more here than it does in Spain.
To have your appendix removed costs 200%+ more than it does in Australia.
Delivering a baby costs almost 40% more than in Switzerland.
And, bypass surgery costs 225% more than it does in the UK.
Those are significant increases.
But, the real difference comes in who pays these medical expenses.
In the UK, the government pays for the costs of healthcare. A percentage of all taxes collected is attributed to the National Health Service (NHS.)
This is used to cover healthcare costs. This means when a British person visits the hospital they receive treatment without making any payment or insurance claim. British people can have health insurance to get treatment at non-government hospitals, but this is extremely rare amongst working class people.

It cost more here because we use the latest and best medical equipment and drugs and procedures that other socialized medicine countries! Why do you think England let’s bsbies die: it’s cheaper not to try to save them!
Using Joe Biden as an example for healthcare costs discredits the article. His son ultimately had care at Walter Reed military hospital which cost the taxpayer but not either of them. And most statements from Joe Biden are the typical politician non-truths.
