Why the U.S. Spends So Much More Than Other Nations on Health Care
I think the US could easily solve this if they wanted to, but from my (Dutch) point of view:- The US is philosophically much more egotistic than other developed countries- Politically the US is the most divided western country with its two party system- Money in politics means it's one of the most corrupt, preventing solutions that could serve its citizens- Conservative media does a very good job at keeping at least 50% of the country comically uninformed- The "American Dream" gives people the impression that working hard solves everything and that their country is the best in the world period- Religion is not focussed on empathy at all anymore, if it ever wasThe billionare .0001% will probably do their utmost to keep the status quo, as evidently, they are the ones that are profiting from the current situation and they are the ones calling the shots for the next 3 years.The US is doing very good in a lot of areas, but I think collective egotism is preventing it from reaching its true potential.
