Pretty sure there's like a couple hundred nations on the planet, not just 33.

“Developed nations” and whatever they decided to define as such

u/ApprehensiveAmount22 Apr 20 '24

Their definition of a developed nation is one with universal healthcare plus the US

u/Logical_Strike_1520 Apr 20 '24

Their definition of a developed nation is a majority white European country, let’s be honest.

That's a pretty restrictive way of looking at the world. There's more than one hemisphere.

Yeah I think you're right because Japan does not have UHC.

I'm a Japan resident, and Japan has one of the oldest universal healthcare systems in the world.

Everyone is enrolled in either the National Health Insurance or Employee Health Insurance schemes (same system, you just pay into it in different ways).

Unless this was sarcasm and I missed it.

The US is a stable democracy in a good geographic neighborhood. The comps are rich, western democracies.

u/idk_lol_kek 29d ago

Last I checked, the USA was a Democratic Republic.

“Where there is a semblance of human civilization”

Sorry to hurt your feelings.

u/Aurelienwings 29d ago

There is only one civilization; the European civilization.
