The TLDR would be:

How come USA, claiming to be rich, can NOT afford what other nations, worse off, easily can?
How come USA doesn't WANT a healthy populace?



Seamus>>> That's a whole lot of monetary reasons. I grant that the US has more fatties, but apart from that, you should be able to give USAnians the same healthcare as, say, Austria and Sweden, no?

It's not like breast or prostate cancer is an USAnian invention, now is it?
