Help me understand this one. We agree that the US is not number one in health care, right? We agree that all of the countries that are ahead of us have more government involvement in their health care than we do, right?


How do you reach your conclusion? Please help me get there.

You are pretty much incorrect regarding the bold statement.  I have first hand experience from natives from Scotland that raved about our healthcare un-solicited.  I work directly with people from Norway that also rave about our healthcare technology, again un-solicited.

Name one country that is more advanced in the healthcare industry (NOT how it's paid for).

As far as education, yes the U.S. is very lacking, especially in grade schools.  Take the cell phone and youtube away from the average high school student thru millennials and they don't have a clue.  Look at how many college students that don't know basic history.  Our education system doesn't teach, it indoctrinates.
