America Bashing

You can get cheap tequila in the barrios of Nueva Yerzey!

Is gross though.

I agree that the US are a great place to live - it is just not the ONLY great place in the world.

Exactly. And that's not a bad thing!

I love this country, I am a veteran of the united states army, so I have served my country. But to say we are number one in health care is a little bit of a statement. We have the greatest health care for the RICH.

Peter Jennings' last word on health care

In an ironic twist of fate, ABC News anchor Peter Jennings hosted a special on the health care crisis not long before his death from lung cancer last August. The special was aired last December.

Another irony..... Peter Jennings was a Canadian who immigrated to the US, but never gave up his Canadian citizenship.

The United States is a great country. Canada is a great country. Denmark is a great country. England is a great country. Italy is a great country. You get my drift. Each country has exceptional qualities and exceptional people. Each country has less than savoury characters and disagreeable aspects. On VJ, alone, I have seen all kinds of countries "bashed" by members.... not just the US. I love this country too. But I also love Canada, Denmark, England, Italy..... DeadPool's post was right on the money, I think.

As far as the U.S. Healthcare system....

Ask the returning Iraq War veterans how they feel about our healthcare system?

[Amby 490]

Now you are getting into the VA and that's a whole other ball of wax.

As a Brit, I am only too happy to be living in the US. My healthcare is better, my job and benefits are excellent, my standard of living is higher in terms of the property I own, and I can afford to run a nice car. I applaud the OP for this post as too often I hear people complaining about aspects of the US. I have travelled extensively, and I would choose the US anytime over some of the countries I have visited. I can say what I want, wear what I want, and within reason, do exactly as I choose.

I love the healthcare system here.

I pay absolutely nothing for it (my employer does), I've never had to fight with

my insurance company (doctor's offices seem to do it themselves), and the

quality of care has been outstanding. Much better than the NHS.

Goooooo USA!
