Here's That "American Exceptionalism" For You
Here you go.
Just one more way we are "exceptional" as a nation.
There is an article out just now on countries with the best life expectancy.
And get this.
The top countries are all Democratic Socialist nations…
And they all have universal healthcare.
We, the US, are at---wait for it--the number 34 position.
34
Cuba is in the number 33 position. They live longer in Cuba, freaking Cuba, than we do here in the States.
We also have a worse life expectancy than Slovenia.
Coincidentally, Israel, to whom we give millions of dollars, has a far higher life expectancy than we in the US. They are #14 on the list. And yes, it really is true they have universal healthcare, too. We don't but they do.
People in the Republic of Korea have a longer life expectancy, at number 9.
Singapore is number 4---number 4---on the list. Far better, far higher than the US.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what lots of guns and money and zero universal healthcare gets us.

Enjoy that exceptionalism, folks.
