Is every industrialized country but the US cursed?
Trump called single-payer healthcare a "curse on the U.S. & its people" [1]. A couple months ago, he said that Australia has "better healthcare than we do" [2]. He also said in the past that universal healthcare was the way to go.
So why is it suddenly a curse? Most other countries are cursed that they have the same quality care as the US at a fraction of the cost? It's a curse that they have guaranteed little-to-no out-of pocket costs? Is it a curse that they don't spend hundreds of extra dollars each month to Big Pharma?

85% percent of us liked our insurance. Obama screwed that up for 5%.
Why does almost every country with socialized medicine have private insurance that also often comes with most management style jobs. Why do the upper income in these countries use private health care? Answer: Because it is much better.

President Obama ended America's embarrassment of being the only developed nation without nationalized healthcare. Now Trump and his selfish bandit followers are trying to take it all away
