Why do liberals keep denying that the United States has the best healthcare system in the world?

Question

I know this one whiney liberal whose child has some medical condition. I don’t know what it is, I don’t care. She recently lost her job and was complaining that she, “couldn’t pay both her mortgage and her son’s medical bills.” Whatever. Life is about choices, honey. We don’t have a cradle to grave socialist system like Europe does. Yes, it’s true that in Canada or Germany or the UK this wouldn’t happen but we’re still better than them. If you are one of the job creators and are rich, the US definitely has the best healthcare in the world, too.

Update:

Average - thank you for bringing up that quote from our socialist President. As Americans, we are so perfect we do not require change or improvement. The whole world wants to be just like us. Just ask anyone from China, Japan or Europe.

can't tell if trolling or just stupid.

Trolling is one of the most contemptible ways to communicate.  It says: I have no real argument, so I'll pretend to be from the side I disagree with and exagerate, leave out any real arguments they have, post in the most extreme form I can, and maybe people will be stupid enough to believe I mean it, or at worst, they'll write it off as satire, or parody.

What garbage.  It's cheap, in several meanings of the word.

Why do SOME liberals do so?  Because some of them have bought into a Socialist agenda, blind to where that leads in time.  They want short term solutions and ignore the immense cost and destruction that Socialism has already done to so many nations, the HUNDREDS of times it's been tried and failed.

Socialism is OVER.  We're tired of it, and the most important argument:

WE DON'T OWE YOU!

We're tired of our charity being turned into something that WE OWE YOU.

WE don't.  Grow up.

Not true at all.  Norway and Sweden have the best and highest quality health care system in the world.  And that's not me saying that, it's widely rated by everyone as that.

Liberals  cant  afford  healthcare  here

Anonymous · Answer

Because - under any way of comparison shows the USA to be in the 30's for our healthcare system. Sure we have the greatest doctors in the world, but people can't afford to see them. So if you're wealthy - you have access to the best healthcare. The rest of us get what we can afford. Pray that you are never down on your luck.

It is the best if you have the money, if your poor it sucks. It averages out to be ok. If we socialized it, it would suck for everyone.

Having something available, and being able to afford it is not the same

Rockefeller Republican · Answer

You are correct - if you're rich, we have one of the best health care systems in the world. The operative phrase is "if you're rich".
