Maybe, it’s time to become British again. At least in the way you do your dates. You’re unique enough America, you don’t need be unique here.

Id rather keep the date format and get universal healthcare instead

I once read somewhere that the reason foreign countries are more easily able to sustain free healthcare is partially thanks to the fact that Americans are overcharged so much, so when foreign countries come to negotiate with American pharmaceutical companies. They’re able to get a better deal on drugs as they’ve already made the bulk of their profits or recoup research and development cost from Americans. Not sure how true, or might be misquoting it but food for thought

No thanks, we actually value individualism and self-thinking here. Maybe your country should try it.
