I can only take it one issue at a time. So right now I am challenging the fact that we aren't the best country due to life expectancy. I will tackle other issues if I feel like it later. But my point that you can not deny is, if you get sick where do you want to be? Of course you want to be in the best place possible, and that is here. Do you disagree with that? I will go back and read more once we decide if the life expectancy thing is a crap argument that we are not the best. Sure there are other countries that do well. Well if I got life threatening sick here I wouldn't have the money nor insurance to pay the 100 grand it's gonna cost me for a chance to get better If I get a simple cold like sick I think most countries could do the job just fine. Is America the best place for treating me if I'm sick? I would suppose so but I'm pretty sure plenty other countries have good medical care as well. But our medical care doesn't make us the best country in the world.

There are too many different definitions of besy country in the world to subjectively argue this

I'm just saying the argument that the USA has the forty something life expectency is bull shit. If I get sick I would rather be here than Macau or Hong Kong. Do you disagree with that? I don't remember the discussion but to say we are not the best is BS in my book. Our medical staffs are the best. So basically I'm saying I'd rather trust my doctors and hospitals than Macau or Singapore or Hong Kong. How about you? Would your rather trust those places of here? Just answer that one. Ive been to hong kong but never the hospitals there so i cant really say. But you make it sound like Hong Kong is Mexico city. Hong kong is as modern as it gets. I doubt the standards for hospitals are that much different. You cant really prove the USA has the best medical staff ever. I've never been to Hong Kong either. So I don't know. But I think what started this is the video that says the US is not the greatest country, and one of the reasons was the life expectancy. So that's all I'm talking about. I'm sure Hong Kong (not a country) has great doctors. So does India. But I still will stay here. This is stupid. This is the best country as far as I'm concerned. But I know no other personally. So I'm done. You all can bash my country if you want, but I won't. Good night.

So I guess not wanting to say America is the best country in the world with nothing to back it up is bashing my country. Well that's good to know.

I also love how the only people who have been on my side in this argument are Canadians.

But our medical care doesn't make us the best country in the world. If you got a simple cold, there is no cure. Just gut it out. But if you got a life threatening sick, and don't have money or insurance, you go to the emergency room. Its the law they have to take care of you and they will. Name me another country that does that. It's a fact. You must be taken care of. It's the law.

I didn't literally mean a cold I just used it for lack of a better example. And yes but I'd still have to pay for it in the long run.
I don't know what other country does that. I would assume many others do. I'm not going to say our medical care is or isn't the best. I simply don't know seeing as this is the only country I have ever been in and I've never particularly looked into other countries' medical care.

Hong kong isnt a country but it is a special administrative region and is autonomous as it gets without being a country. (Think china tries to intefere but they arent suppose to). Hong kong almost has the same powers as any other country.
Stating an opinion as fact without any justification is just gonna get backlash.

It's the law. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_health_coverage_by_countryAny of these countries which has universal health coverage.. Note that the states doesn't actually have it yet but is working on it.

So I guess not being so arrogant to say America is the best country in the world with nothing to back that statement up is bashing my country. Well that's good to know. I don't understand what you are saying here. The video bashed it. I think. I haven't watched it for a long time. I think other countries may be better than us in some areas. But if I need help, I'll take the US. So its six of one half dozen of another. No doubt the US has made major mistakes in world politics. But without us what would the world look like? I don't know, might be better. But I don't think so. I think Africa would be baron due to disease.
