America in my eyes is on the same level as Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries living in the stone age.
Cuba FFS has some sort of universal health care program. America is a disgrace to the planet. That's my view and it it isn't changing any time soon.

Don't get me wrong - there are some major societal issues in the United States that need to be addressed, however to say that they are on the same level as countries like Iraq and Afghanistan (both places I will assume you have no experience with by the way) because there are some people who can't afford cancer treatments is somewhat ignorant. The fact is that there are cancer treatments that do exist and there is some form of health care available for those in the United States who are unable to afford it in the form of Medicare.
This isn't a rah-rah-USA-#1 type of post but your hate filled rant is a little much and over the top with hyperbole but while I try not to care too much about who the poster is and rather focus on what they say that seems to be a trademark of your posts.
I do think that Canada and the USA are quite similar in a number of respects - however there appears to be a widening gulf between the nations, although it could just appear that way due to the more vocal crazy aspect which is present in the right wing down south
