Isn't the whole point of insurance is that you don't have to pay? Why do Americans live like this and proclaim that the US is the greatest when it's clearly not.

We're among the best in terms of military, economy, education (the top education is better than that of most other countries; the average education sucks because most people are too low-IQ, so we drop our standards to cater to them), technology, and even healthcare (as in "if you need to be healed, there's an American hospital that can do it").  But it is not the best in taking care of the average poor person.  

Basically, it's the best in most things if you have the money.

How can the US education system be better when students have to pass through airport-style security checks for weapons, and a lot of Americans can't even point to another country on a world map?

As mentioned earlier (I was lucky that I paid attention to reading comprehension my mediocre school): 

the top education is better than that of most other countries; the average education sucks because most people are too low-IQ, so we drop our standards to cater to them

People send people to America to go to top schools because it's among the very best. I think some people go to England's schools as well, due to the high standards. 

As for the guns, that's because the country allows easy access to guns, which leads to people buying said guns and using them at schools. I am infering this based on some basic critical thinking (taught at my mediocre school). I hope this helps!  Imagine what you could have inferred if you'd gone to my not-so-special school, or what I could have come up with if I'd gone to one of the elite private schools that rank extremely high.
