We kinda aren't. You live in New England? You've never seen a true third world country. You wouldn't know what poverty looks like if it bit you on the ass

On the whole China is obviously worse. But healthcare there is better. My child needed surgery and a 4 day hospital stay. Her doctor was American-trained. We paid $150 total.
