Insane to me that the same people who think America is the best country in the world also think it’s impossible for us to have universal healthcare like the rest of the developed world.

I assume you mean single-payer? Universal just means everyone has *access*. For example, the Netherlands has universal healthcare. The gov pays for the elderly, disabled, children, etc, but everyone else pays for their own health insurance. They’re required to have at least basic healthcare coverage, which costs 150-160 EUR/month this year (the handful of private companies set the prices themselves). The government regulates the deductible and what needs to be covered though
