At best, it's "Manslaughter" of the People who Elected these Politicians, who allow/encourage such wilful Health inadequacies in a Democracy, priding itself of For the People: By the People

It’s not that it can’t be figured out. It’s that Republicans don’t want us to have Universal Healthcare. They vehemently oppose UH.

It seems you can have loads of billionaires or you can have universal healthcare. Billionaire Trump has made that decision.

People don't want the tax hikes.

Plus all the people in those other countries which have a highly corrupt government and very little freedom know it already.

It comes down to the will of the american people. Do they really want universal healthcare. If so are they willing to vote out ANY elected official who works against it? If your not willing to vote people out that are against it, then you really don't want it either.

Ответ для Raffie1

Do you eat propaganda for breakfast? As if democracy works in the states! 😂

Ответ для Raffie1

That's if you believe that the USA is a proper functioning democracy........hint for you 'it isnt'

If we had universal health care, Donald Trump would be using it to enrich himself and his cronies and to punish his enemies.

🙌

This is lobbyists. They should be banned

that one guy's gotta be a real outlier

They a concept of a plan, though. So there’s that.

Haiti???

Ответ для Amybeth

Democratic Republic of Congo too lol.

Ответ для paul j s

well... now we know at which level USA is comparing itself.

Ответ для Chris クリストフ

Ot it's just a dumb post

And that one country is making my country's healthcare worse because of the brainrot that crosses the border

Yeah they have. It's called GREED

It would be amazing if a reporter pointed this out to Trump and asked why this is so during our golden age.

That country’s moral code prefers tax cuts for their oligarchs and corporations and to hell with the peasants who actually pay taxes.

One country doesn’t actually give a fuck about its citizens only its corps.

Ответ для cainsworth242

It's even simpler than that. You know the US Constitution and the declaration of Independence center the People as the reason and the justifications we're even having a government. That is absolute b******* in this country. People don't matter Only dollars matter here.

Ответ для DrAtomic

Firstly, great Peter Gabriel avatar and secondly, since “Ray-gun” we has been in a capitalist nightmare where the wise words of Mr. George Carlin ring ever so true,”…it’s called the American Dream because you have to be ASLEEP to fucking believe it…”

We pay through the nose for healthcare which is bad enough. But now we have trouble getting MD appointments. Doctors are leaving practices and replacements aren’t taking their places. Time foruniversal health. care.

Look who is running the government.

One country, lead by a GOP majority for the time being, is not interested in figuring it out. When the GOP is defeated in the upcoming November election, the US government will reconvene working for the benefit of the American people again.

Pathetic, actually.

Coz Big pharma 'buys' politicians.

No...they'd rather kill off or deport their population, not make them healthier. They don't realized, there aren't 'truly 100%' WHITE people left in their country... But the remaining 2 dozen living in the country after they kill or deport everyone will figure it out--TOO LATE. DUH!

I think it's just - won't figure it out. They already know what to do.

Cos it's all about money.

Oh we can figure it out, our government just wants only the oligarchs to enjoy universal healthcare by tax cuts for them. Gotta keep the obscenely wealthy happy.

Hey…as Donnie boy has explained, we can’t afford Healthcare or Medicare/Medicaid because we have WARS to pay for. This from the man who ran on no wars!

I bet they're working on a concept!

Corporate America doesn’t want anyone to figure it out. It’s making too much money as it is.

Thank the republicans, they want the poor to die and average Americans poor.

oh, we can figure it out. its just that the rich dont want universal healthcare, cuz it'll cut into their medical stock dividend payouts. follow the money...

we prefer Propagandists by 6-1. over decent Healthcare

"Can't" or "won't"?

Trump n Administration don't want 2 figure it out. They could have just left it alone. Nope...2 much like right. We're calling it ObamaCare," cant have that, even knowing it's The Affordable Care Act. This Regime it's more about Taking Down America because "Dear Leader" is Selfish,Petty n Deranged.

One country's citizens have a solution. It's not ideal, but it's surprisingly popular.

No...... One country operates totally on GREED.

You know, I would like universal healthcare but I’ll sacrifice that not to live in Iran.

Oh the one country has it figured out ... but with the thieves currently in control it won't be considered. On the other hand, when all of these bootlickers are gone or reduced to a substantial minority, perhaps the Dems will be woken and forced to provide healthcare that's common around the world.

America doesn't want too. Too much money in healthcare for insurance companies. Republicans blocked Socialized medicine 93 years ago. Roosevelt then Truman tried to get it passed. Insurance companies spent a lot of money making sure it didn't happen, They still are paying out bribes.

What do you really want??? First it’s universal healthcare, then it’s access to drinking water, food enough for survival, and even education…

Ответ для Ron James

Yep. Imagine what that could create. A much healthier society, which leads to happiness.

Lies! Not true. Stop sowing hate!

It’s the Portuguese isint it?

The supposed richest country in the world.

That one country doesn’t want to figure it out.

What a backwater country that must be. Those poor citizens must be just miserable!

Indeed

Oh, they've figured it out and are sitting pretty in a status quo thankyouverymuch. It's the response that hasn't been figured out yet but, money is a dazzling distraction. US culture has money and self enrichment at its core.

Ответ для Mark

And in that way it is inhumane and broken. This isn't a healthy society. In fact, it's a society where the people are held with no say in the government, the economy or their own future.

Only one countries people are to stupid to do anything about it. Just wait what's coming. You haven't seen anything yet.....

No one knew how hard it was. No one.

Yeah…because, according to the idiot in chief, “who knew healthcare could be so complicated.”

Must be one of those “shithole” countries, amirite?

🤬 "Can't figure it out" is bullshit. It is #greed, #corporatecapitalism & politics of the spineless that is stopping #MedicareForAll / #SinglePayer NOT ignorance. You know this but are being too tongue-in-cheek here.

Mexico has universal healthcare. Let that sink in.

We aren’t smart enough. Clearly.

Corporate greed, #oligarchy 💯 intentional for-profit #dipshitocracy

One country with an oppressive capitalistic regime

I had to Google this. It is quite the statement, wow, merica is so sad.

That isn’t quite true. The insurance industry and healthcare lobbyists have figured it out. National healthcare would remove all the profit out of healthcare.

That would be the only 3rd world country in the tournament.

All our tax money goes into military, and sent to Israel for their genocide, healthcare and education.

genocide.healthcare

Let's see VA, Obamacare, Medicare, Medicaid, plus State, local programs. That is not Capitalism.

True but unfortunate

Slow learner, that one…

I mean, businesses might lose money and the C-suite might have to not make millions in salary and it might increase hospital expenses and that costs money and then how do we kee the drug companies happy with less profit? Are you crazy?!? 😑😑😑

"more Healthcare billionaire CEOs than any other country" I see the problem. I want the Healthcare system to sponsor sick people NOT PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAMS

Ответ для Howard Beale Lives

They don't have our greedy Republicans.

Ooohhhh...do tell! What country is that? Inquiring minds want to know!

Damn shame

And its the richest one of all.

We are soooo unique for wrong reasons

I spoke with a woman who took a trip to Italy She fell and broke her wrist She said the care was excellent Did not inquire about insurance Doctors introduce themselves by their first name Her total expense $0

One country puts corporate greed above all else.

One country is too damn greedy

You mean all of them? Wow healthcare across the board well well that’s socialism! It would make those who have everything quite uncomfortable 😣

IT’S TOO HARD TO DO THE MATHS

We can. We’re just so stupid we keep voting for the money to be spent on buying Congress instead of paying for healthcare.

Ответ для abcdef 🕶️

Bingo 🛎️

And THAT country is.....?

Ответ для neurodivergentaf
M

The US.

They know how to do it. They don’t think Blacks, immigrants, Native nor poor ppl should have healthcare, we’re freeloaders. They don’t want free abortions or birth control & definitely not gender reassignment. They poured concrete in their own public pools after integration to keep us out. Same idea

Ответ для “The Well Read Bonnet” 🖕🏽🤷🏽‍♀️

Where is it free? Not in my country

Ответ для bliebhart

It’s not, but those are their talking points, listen to what they say. It’s doesn’t actually have to be happening for them to say they don’t want it. That is the how they inject fear into their followers, it’s part of the script. Like saying abortion after birth or gender reassignment at school.

Ответ для “The Well Read Bonnet” 🖕🏽🤷🏽‍♀️

Thank you for explaining. You are absolutely right

One country DOESN'T WANT to figure it out... Insurance and medical industries (docs and administrators) making too much money.

American exceptionalism!

Geez Wonder who

Eswatini ?

What's truly embarrassing is that any World Cup fan who needs medical attention in the U.S. will be charged hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars when it would be free/mostly free for them at home. Their insurance maybe paying most of it won't stop any negative feelings.

Ответ для Extroverted Introvert

What insurance?

Ответ для DrAtomic

I knew someone visiting from Germany once who needed medical care. They said their insurance from their employer paid for it for them. I didn't question them having insurance through their employer. I was just impressed the insurance paid without a fuss.

Minimum criteria for a civilized country: - universal healthcare - no guns everywhere - not led by a corrupt insurrectionist pedophile fascist with dementia

Ответ для Iacovos

-Affordable and good quality education -Ditto housing -Clean, safe air, water and soil -Police that help you rather than shooting your dog - prisons and fostering not run for profit

Ответ для Leo Greene (if you're nice)

Indeed. You could add: - no racism - not supportive of genocide - a military that doesn't bomb schools full of young girls But the list starts getting a bit long!

Ответ для Iacovos

But some countries manage most, if not actually all, of those

Ответ для Leo Greene (if you're nice)

Some certainly score a lot more highly than the US!

Ответ для Iacovos

Don't forget about unicorns, candy-colored clowns, and huggable teddy bears in every bed. If we're fantasizing about the perfect country, let's go all out.

congo is promising it but I would not want to be sick and poor there

😖

Well, we are free to be stupid with ourselves and others.

What kind of "Shithole Country" can't figure out Universal Healthcare?

“It’s just too complex and expensive” but billions on an unneeded war. And vanity projects.

One country has the world’s greediest healthcare Monopolies.

It’s NOT fair that after winning its group, the U.S. is rewarded with having to play two countries in the knockout round: Bosnia and Herzegovina. All other teams only have to play a single nation!!!

Hmm…wonder who that could be???🙄🙄🙄

This isn’t true

Haiti has universal healthcare? Iraq? DR Congo?

Ответ для Saskia

Oh you blew a hole in our argument! You go ahead and live in Haiti, I hear that the Democratic Republic of Congo has that Ebola outbreak? Oh no it's not under control. It's still in the wildfire stage. You go ahead and emulate those countries.

Vote Democrat

It COULD, if it was able to only give it to its white citizens like they did in the 40s. But allow their Black, Indigenous, Latine and Asian citizens to have it too? They'd burn it to the ground first

The richest nation in the world is too stupid to figure out what other nations figured out years ago.

The one with the most $$$ can’t afford it 🤨

No. One country WON'T figure it out.

That's because trump is a fool. A lying fool. He only wants money for the military. Everyone else can just die. Some candidates have promised universal health care. Trump is just pinching the penny till it hurts. And commits genocide.

One country keeps voting for greedy, racist, Assholes who couldn’t legislate their way out of a paper bag!!!

Ответ для miadolceuna

We keep getting presented with two of these as our binary choice. Think maybe there's a structural issue here?

Ответ для DrAtomic

Certainly, the system is failing, because we’ve allowed ourselves to believe these two parties are the only viable choices. It is virtually impossible for a third (or more) party candidate to win in this country. If we are to stay a Democracy, we must allow a bigger political arena of VIABLE choices

One reason why we aren’t the “greatest country in the world” and never have been.

Ответ для sagicorn22

One of dozens if not hundreds.

Greed is the barrier

The American Dream showing the world how it’s done. Oh wait. 😬 💀⚰️🪦

This is what a shithole country looks like.

We can. We don’t want too

47 are civilised.

You don't have to make things up to make a valid point. There are other teams from countries w/o universal healthcare in this tournament.

Oh, they have totally figured it out. Figured out how to keep Americans from having it.

...or pay for it! That country can afford to pay $14.2 million to paint a pool blue, though!

You have to wonder how they do it. We are 40 trillion in debt, I suppose we could print up "Monopoly Money". No one wants their pay reduced, and it "appears" no one wants to pay the debt and let future kids live. I pay my debts every friggin' month, why can't the government be responsible as us?

Huh. No cites? Could you dig into Nigeria, Senegal, Cape Verde, DR Congo & Ivory Coast and report back please.

Ответ для Sound Republic HQ

Yeah this was a stupid post.

The Repubs don't want We the People to have nice things!

U Said it All...

Keep it honest. It’s not that they can’t figure it out that they choose to not figure it out. They know what they’re doing.

It's to complex a problem. It'll cost too much. Blah, blah, blah...

Lack of universal health care is why we don't protest daily. It keeps us tethered.

This guy had a solution to that problem

I think it's because too many people are too mean.

Europe figured out universal healthcare after WWII. A vial of insulin costs $6 to make. In the U.S., it can sell for $300+. In most of Europe, $10–$20. This isn't healthcare, it's extortion. You shouldn't need a job, good credit, or GoFundMe to survive. Healthcare is a right, not a reward.

The coastal elites ruin everything

Can’t afford it because their representatives are too busy letting a bunch of shysters rob the country blind.

Wow! I wouldn’t want to live in that country. Oh wait..I do. Yeah our heath care really sucks.

That one country has politicians who are bought by the insurance companies.

🤦🏻‍♂️

Oh they figured it out. They just don't want to do it. The people want it, and are denied.

Ответ для blackshagreen

Bingo! They understand it and their reaction to it was to make sure that the people's voice really holds. No sway in the federal government.

Ответ для lm100

He's ranting about Medicare

Yeh, sure. But just look at the mess their politics is in.

my guess - Democrats better figure out how to provide Universal Health care to all Americans BEFORE Nov 3rd, 2026 midterm elections!

Ответ для Forsaken61453

Simple...Medicare 4 all!

isn't the same whom call it soccer ? and doesn't know what a meter is ?

Bloody Communism, innit!

a country that’s put a rapist pedofile in office twice has lost all morals

Oh we can figure it out. But we’ve prioritized corporate profits over EVERY FUCKING THING.

Ответ для utah-misfit

And this is the one message that will go absolutely nowhere in Washington. Nobody in either party wants to touch this. They can't. They're already bought and paid for.

The problem with American health care in one easy graphic:

Ответ для BeefReeferLives
A

Two words: Jim Crow. It left a foul legacy that still affects the U.S.

Correction: ... one country just can't overcome it's greed.

Hopefully more people will have actual conversations with all the World Cup visitors they meet. Learn that they aren’t waiting forever to be treated and that they actually a happy to have it. As we would.

One country can’t afford it. Also, one country is the richest country in the world!

Profits over People. #capitalism amirite?

We're too smart for that.

😑

can we guess who???

And people from 47 of these countries are clamoring to get into the 48th.

Ответ для Mike Oxbigg

Extreme exaggeration! Maybe a handful want in permanently.

I was unable to find any news of a surge in requests let alone “any” fifa related asylum requests. I found a request from March by 6 players seeking asylum in Australia (they were welcomed but later withdrew the application)

One country has federal representatives who are bought and paid for by healthcare providers and their hospitals, laboratories, and other healthcare provider facilities.

Too distracted by algae.

Americans are brainwashed by the Corporate scum

It requires redistributing the tax you take off your own citizens for the benefit of all citizens, it's called a socialist society, a concept way beyond the comprehension of a country where success is based on personal wealth, where 'greed is good' and empathy is non existent.

USA

But you do have ‘thoughts and prayers’, soooo….

If we change the question to ‘are US politicians and entrepreneurs not smart enough to figure out universal healthcare?’ maybe we’ll get some people working together to desperately try and dispel that notion

More “American exceptionalism” for sure

🤔

It’s not corporate greed. It’s because a substantial percentage of the country does not like government programs that benefit black people, even if those programs would also benefit them.

And the profit-over-all-else health insurance conglomerates will never allow the US to figure it out.

Ответ для Gone fishin'

Depends on how.... assertive the people decide to become. I doubt they ever will though, we live in a country of NPC's.

Ответ для mrfrodough

Yep.

Ответ для Gone fishin'

Exactly this!

Universal care does not cover dental care, eyes, and ears health care. You would have to pay out of pocket for all that.

That does not mean that health care in those countries works better. Universal care is better than private care, but it does not work any better. Those who can, supplement universal care with private care. It takes too long to schedule an appointment for needed scans or specialists visits.

Ответ для papillonjaune77

It would still be better than no health care at all. The wealthy people in this country do not have the same health insurance as the rest of us. We simply can't afford the premiums the rich pay.

Ответ для Jo Marie

Yes. I agree with you. Now, you just have to convince the 30% of the population who still stubbornly vote for Republicans.

Ответ для papillonjaune77

Trying to survive in the USA has become a losing battle. I'm exhausted by all of Trump's bullshit and frustrated that no one will stop him.

Ответ для papillonjaune77

When is the last time you made an appointment for a specialist? I work in clinical trials and some patients have to wait months to see a neurologist.

But, a concept...

. . . but, if we give it away . . . how will we create billionaires?

Ah but how many of them have guns?

And 45 of 47 u.s. presidents HAVE NOT BEEN [REDACTED] from the epstein files

Then why are we providing health care to people of other countries that come here if they all have it at home?

...while its next door neighbor just lies to the world that it does, and everyone believes it.

Haiti? Congo? Sure

Can thank the corporate lobbying bumping uglies with politicians.

Oh we can. There’s corporate greed in deciding who gets treatment and who doesn’t
