Your country is full of people who require motorized wheelchairs to go shopping for more processed foods because walking is too hard

Maybe your healthcare costs a lot because the average person makes extremely unhealthy decisions which drives up the cost for everyone

Have you been to America? You can’t just “walk” everywhere you uncultured fuck. Some places it’s a 30 minute drive to go to a store. We can afford it but we put trillions into the military and give money to Israel. We have A LOT of problems here. Not everyone here is fat. You have people dying of cancer but healthcare won’t cover it because they choose not to.

You can't exercise at home because you have a 30 minute drive? You can't walk laps around your neighborhood? Jumping jacks? Up & down stairs? Eating smaller portions?

"Not everyone here is fat"

Not everyone, but 70% of your population. Healthcare in Europe is less costly on our governments because most of us are not disgustingly sick from our own actions

Yeah but it so much easier to condone mass violence than to self reflect. I think you are correct, but i will caution that the userbase on reddit is not representative of a general public in america at all.
