Are you claiming that Europeans are healthy? And if your healthcare is so superior, then why buy private insurance in the UK?

You also have to keep in mind, when chit hits the fan worldwide, Belgium ain't gonna do jack chit. That's a huge weight off their shoulders, that America by and large carries.
Belgium did more for the world per capita than Merica that's for sure.

No sh*t one of the smallest countries on the planet won't be able to defend itself without nuclear detterence.

You don't deserve a free college degree because you were in combat. You deserve military pay for being in the military and should have to deal with what every other citizen does regarding healthcare and education.

My healthcare copay is giant to the point where I don't go to the doctor because it's a waste of money.Meanwhile, I have been working in public service for many decades.
Ah, I get it now. You're poor, and somehow that's everyone else's fault. So when someone joins the military and part of their compensation is medical and dental, you get mad because you have shytty benefits because you're an uneducated nobody larping as a psychologist and of course all that larping won't save you from yet another stocking shift at your local Stop and Shop.

All this, your persona, your lies, the number 1048, it'd all be funny if it weren't so sad. Maybe you should have joined the military, I mean, with a 1048 squat they'd probably make you a 5 star general day one or something.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Irrelevant. Private health insurance in the UK is an extra luxury (that doesn't cost much) and most decent jobs offer anyway. It allows you to skip certain waiting times and access to private facilities.

And yeah Europeans are far less fat, which already excludes a whole bunch of medical complcations. USA has an obesity rate of 36.2%, the first 'European' country is the UK with 27.8%.

TL;DR : of course fat fuks are on average far less healthy, not to mention politicians selling their soul so big pharma can fuk over every citizen.

Imagine dumping on the entire military in this way. I would argue that some aren't supported enough as it is, living in NYC and seeing how some end up after. Not all - some.

Broad strokes generalizations are a detriment to conversations about the death of the American dream.

There is a lot of disinformation ITT as well. Let's talk methadone clinics here, and how my insurance plan costs my employer more than the average per capita income of an American citizen. Let's talk about that before the usual "lol poor Euros lol".

The only real difference between the Us and Europe is Europe doesn't have an army of astronauts in every city.


If remove something like 4 counties in the 3006 counties we have, the US is the richest and safest place on Earth.



Population of Belgium is 11 Million people. We have that in illegal immigrants alone who we have to pay for.

It's funny how you can lift 1048lbs for reps, but you can't lift yourself out of poverty. LOL. Imagine being a middle aged cuck making shyt up on a dying gay Indian bodybuilding forum.

Never had issues switching providers and work places.

Life expectancy would have lots to do with USA being a rich country, thus fat people. More money = more fat people because more food and money for food. Prosperity creates weak fat people. USA ranks at the top for deadly things like terminal or near terminal cancer care due to technology available in US.

I don't know about what this post is claiming. I don't know about "average". All I know is it's probably easier in the US to get a job, move up the ladder than it is anywhere else. It's easier to start a business. A very diverse set of options and environments where you can find your niche. Europeans are much more limited in all these areas. Maybe it's harder for people who can't get their chit together but maybe they should focus on doing better.

Right. Employed people get healthcare through their employer. It's more expensive when you have a kids and such, but you chose to have kids. The old get medicare. Disabled get medicaid. However, there is a large portion of NEETs that are fuked and that's what the idea of universal healthcare comes in and why those advocating for it are blue haired dweebs you see at BLM protests.
