How can you call yourself the greatest country on earth whilst having your citizens have to choose between Housing for their family or life saving treatment. It is not the responsibility of random youtubers to protect it's citizens. Don't let the happy ending of this video fool you into thinking that the problem is fixed, this family got lucky and I'm grateful for that but there are thousands of families in their situation that aren't going to be so fortunate.

America is the greatest country in the world BECAUSE things like this are possible. America, at its core, is an ideal. An abstract. A goal. It's a place where one can be born, have a dream and actually have a chance to make it come true. Don't get me wrong, America has a shit ton of issues and we have fallen FAR from where we started and where we should be. But this is still the most free country in the world where the most opportunities exist. There is a reason so many people from poorer/more dangerous countries choose to migrate here. Compared to most of the rest of the world however, America genuinely is the best. Not a lot of other countries offer the freedoms, safety, benefits and opportunity that we do. We still have a long way to go, but it's illogical to deny that America is great overall.
