GDP is hardly the best way to measure a country, the best way is in measuring income disparity, infant mortality rates, average age, social equality etc. You can hardly say a country is great if it's only great for a tiny elite at the very top.

I'd say countries in Scandinavia like Sweden are the best countries to live.

You did not pay attention to the Health care!!!!That is why US is no. power in the world!!!!!
Cuba is almost beater the US!!!

Almost, they are pretty close, which is pretty amazing considering the U.S. spends a projected $2.26 trillion on health care, or $7,439 per person, while Cuba spends a project $251 on each person. I think that clearly shows the superiority of socialized health care.

Americas head of the world because they play a very active role in world of politics and there army is huge and well funded...

I dont se $2.26 trillion on health care.

I agree absolutely. But to have the biggest military budget in the world, you have to cut down the health care budget and social budget first.
That makes all the people the same.THE POOR PEOPLE!!!

so the its a big army that defends poor people big woop still a big army

The next time you want health care head to Cuba.

They do not get any preventative care. Only the elite get full coverage and even Castro went to outside sources for his health care.
I don't see many Americans going to Cuba or anyplace else for their health care.

But Cleveland has a Hospital build and run just for foreigners who come there for heart treatments.


The superiority of socialized health care is that everyone gets less than average care. They all have to wait in lines for standard care and tests.

How many MRI machines does Cuba have?
I know of 6 in my city. I can have an MRI scan done today with an hours wait. One was giving free total body scans last year.
