First of all, when it boils down to it WE(the USA) usually end up protecting other democracies. With the help of the Brits and Aussies and sometimes the Canadians. So, what I think you mean is that other "democracies" do a better job of protecting their citizens from THEMSELVES, which is arguably much closer to socialisim than democracy, right? Don't even go there, talking about socialized healthcare having an edge on our system, that's my field. There's a reason people from all over the globe come here when they get REALLY sick. Communist/socialist healthcare is a fucking farce. Doctors make much less money, which gives them LOTS of motivation to provide professional and top-notch care. (((Were is the evidence for that???? Show me?????)))LOL
Oh, and the the waiting list. Good luck getting seen for a debilitating illness in a timely manner. Or getting quality care when you get there. Our system has major flaws,indeed. But it's a classic example of the age old concept of "you get what you pay for".
