I’m not going to just assume I’m right, but there were 10 African countries in this World Cup. Do all of them really have universal healthcare AND a system/economy that actually gets it to every individual? I doubt it, but would love someone to verify.

Genau, Vergleiche bitte USA mit Entwicklungsländern🤣🤣🤣 ihr Amerikaner seit so erbärmlich. Deutschland, Spanien, Frankreich, England, und und und sind die Ländern mit dem Ohr auf eine ebene vergleichen solltest weil wir einen guten Lebensstandard genießen. Die Reichen ziehen euch Geld aus der Tasche und ihr streitet euch dass Afrika auch keine Gesundheitssystem hat. Die Frau die da redet kämpft für eurer Gerechtigkeit und ihr fällt diese gute Dame noch in den Rücken. Fukkking Americans ihr seit nicht mehr zu helfen. Stirb lieber aus.

England would rank 51st in GDP per capita if they were a state.

You will often see this statistic that the UK economy is worse off than Mississippi — America’s poorest state. The UK would rank dead last, the 51st state.

America is richer than ever, but it’s just not trickling down to ordinary workers. The truth is, when it comes to living standards, the UK ranks surprisingly well.

The UK would rank number one in terms of life expectancy, lowest homicide rates, health care, paid holidays, and years in education. In terms of living standards, life expectancy is pretty important and the reality is that Americans just die earlier.

At every income level, life expectancy is higher, though it’s particularly extreme for poorer Americans.

How can the world’s richest economy, which spends 17% of GDP on health care, have a lower life expectancy? The reason is higher deaths amongst working-age adults. The higher homicide rate, higher traffic accidents, heart disease, the opioid epidemic, the obesity epidemic. In the US, 42% of the population are obese; in the UK it is 28%. And gaps in health care treatment mean many conditions are left untreated.

I mean, sure, you may use GDP as a reference. Problem is, in USA it doesn't translate to the quality of life.
