The US DOES have Universal Healthcare
It just happens to be in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I'm just guessing.

6. And people wonder why Mexico and Argentina
are at the head of my possibilities in places to move to.

Mexico has national health care. It is just a very poor country, meaning it has distributed its wealth very unevenly, and isn't able to make it universal as yet. Gringos who live there are expected to employ Mexicans at least part time as house or grounds keepers and pay their insurance. Since the yearly cost is so reasonable, it's not much of a loss.

It's just getting very hard to love a country that blames you for getting sick, cuts you off, and expects you to crawl off and die quietly.

8. that's misleading as hell........
try to access that universal health care in Iraq and Afghanistan....you won't find a safe, properly-equipped hospital to go to. Drugs are hard to come by, sectarian strife spills into the waiting room, and sanitary products are almost non-existent, including clean water and electricity.

I've heard this thing before, and it's still a lie.
