The American health care system is broken, the American retirement system is awful, disability insurance is bad, maternity leave, and more. It also doesnt help that the rich and wealthy gets all the benefits in the USA from healthcare, to politicians, to influencing people of power to get what they want Apparently he thinks that America needs to do more for its people like Europe does in order to be more of a first world country. He thinks America is barely better than most 3rd world countries I dont really agree with him. How is the USA not a first world country?
