"So this is something they get wrong. Well it's actually true, but not the way they think it is." was like 3 points on the list.
It's very easy to mess with statistics, and this fact was presented here, for instance overweight statistics, well there is a significant difference between being overweight and being mormidly obese. It's like your phone app having a 1s response time, noticeable but maybe you survive, vs having a 60 s response time.
The Healthcare topic, well I don't really understand why it's such heated in the first place.
I consider a society's success when it can provide functional necessities to itself, that should be one major function of any government, isn't it? Of course most of the "free" healthcare is a piece of shit, but it's something.

@qZbGmYjS4QusYqv5 I don't think anybody thinks that all that medical equipment, education, doctors, service, etc etc. just pops into existence from nowhere.
I put it in quotation marks, but "free" in this context means that you don't pay for the medical services you receive, but everyone pays for everyones service, well this is how it would be if thinks worked as intended of course.
So even if you don't work or work a minimum wage job, but then have serious medical emergency, you don't have to suddenly magic up coins, because others automatically prop you up.
