No universal health care makes the USA distinctly third world.

It's not a cheap defect - health care in the US (when you can get it) 
costs half as much again more than same health care in expensive places 
like German, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

It showed up in the Covid-19 death rate. 3642 deaths per million isn't 
the worst performance around, but it's surprisingly third world.

Having Donald Trump as your president when the pandemic was doing its 
worst didn't help.
