Despite what Canada’s nation hating extreme right would have you believe.

    United States is fifth.

    Yeah, “best” is a rather vague metric, and in this case, simply bullshit

      Hey the USA is a great place to live if you make good money. Not a great place to be poor though.

        Pretty much. Most of the best Universities in the world. That most of it’s citizens could never afford to attend. Many of the best Hospitals and specialty clinics in the world. That again most of it’s people can’t use.

        Most American’s are somewhere in the middle, and I’m sure the median household has more disposable income than most other first world countries, it’s just that the prosperity is so unevenly spread.

        Granted, some would speculate that it is because of the unevenness that the US is so prosperous, but I would dispute that. I think the US could go a long long ways towards helping it’s less fortunate without compromising it’s prosperity.

          Not sure if the world agrees. You certainly have a lot of universities in the country. Also not sure about best hospitals…
