7. We're not even second rate
I've been telling people for nearly 20 years that I enjoy the same health care system they have in Botswana, only Botswana has a better public health system now than the US does.

Quite simply, this country does not care about its people.

They give us lip service every couple of years when corporate puppets need to go through the formality of an election, but that is where it starts and stops.

Eventually it will be brought home to even the selfish upper middle class--the worst--just why the population of this country needs to be kept healthy. By then it will be too late, and they'll be watching their heirs die off from the next preventable pandemic that nobody cared to prevent.

This country has gotten worse than much of the third world because this very rich country simply does not care about anything but wealth and the people who possess it.
