The shitty thing is we actually were on the path to being on par with European post war countries when it comes universal healthcare. It’s just that anytime FDR or Truman tried to implement it, universal healthcare got shot down by greedy and racist politicians. We also used to have a much more inclusive and well funded welfare state and banking/investing regulations, but Republicans over the last 50 years voted to get rid of them.
