We are so far behind the rest of the world. We don't even have a good public education system, or an universal healthcare system.

Well that is the government's problem, but they refuse to do anything about it.

I guess you could say that, but I can't imagine why they wouldn't give it to everyone.

The healthcare system is run by private companies which don't like the idea of not making profit on everything. They also think that if they have a lot of poor people on their insurance they won't be able to afford the doctors and such for everyone.

"private companies which don't like the idea of not making profit on everything"
who said they didn't want profit?
they want profit, but they're going to get it regardless of whether it's public or private
"if they have a lot of poor people on their insurance they won't be able to afford the doctors and such for everyone"
you've obviously never heard of a government subsidy

so you believe there is absolutely no way to subsidize people who can't afford healthcare?

They can subsidize them, but they don't.

"but they don't."
ok so i assume that's because no one would pay for it and they'd go bankrupt?

Not really, but if you were running a business you wouldn't want to give stuff out for free, right?

not just give everything away for free
