We also out weigh half the world by a significant amount. If everyone on Medicaid and Medicare was the proper weight the spending would be cut in half.

Again, who cares about ‘outcomes’ when our bottom 40% are th biggest leaches in the world. Anyone gonna argue that? You can’t complain about a spending issue when you have a major issue with your bottom 40% being the worst.

Our top half is easily the best in the world and it’s really not even close.

US was once a leader for healthcare and education — now it ranks 27th in the world.



Demographics and porous border coupled with lax standards for benefits and low standards for teacher accountability, coupled with high rates of tort in the health care industry. It's all a recipe for disaster. The stage has been set to repel the most capable from certain areas and encourage certain behaviors from consumers. Sorry, not sorry.

You can't even go there. More the 40% of the people that live here in our country are over 30%BMI. I'm at 20%. Everybody I come into contact are FAT> So, don't go there.

Break out those detailed demographics. The same people that are demanding open borders are the ones complaining about our healthcare and education rankings....

Kind of like how the USA goes from one of the worst in gun violence to almost the very best in the world....just by removing 5 liberal, STRICT GUN CONTROLLED cities.

Our healthcare is #1 if you’re one of the lucky who can afford it. Otherwise, you’re 27th in the world.

I don’t see how this is possible. Aren’t we like literally living longer now?

I know we are fatter, but aren’t we healthier than we were 28 years ago?

People cry about education but we test ALL students. Most of these other countries test selected few. The numbers are not valid . Our smartest kids are as smart or better than the world leaders

It's not. The parameters have changed to support a certain segment's viewpoint

this is because poor, trashy people keep having more babies.

if someone needs public everything, then the public doesn't need them or their offspring.
