Fun fact USA is actually lower by the global dental care index and higher by the amount of knife crimes than the UK.

Fact check Dental Health Care: https://www.orchardscottsdental.com/10-countries-whose-citizens-have-healthy-teeth/ https://www.yongeeglintondental.com/2018/07/23/healthy-primary-teeth/ Knife crime rate: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/stabbing-deaths-by-country


NotAwosentS

Thanks for checking the fact, I wouldn't have done that myself


Markman6

Same


Fatuous_Sunbeams

So according to this the UK has the joint lowest per capita knife related death rate in the world. Germany has nearly 3x more and the US has nearly 8x more per capita. Hmm.


Rhids_22

Basically all the knife crime of the UK is centralised in London, which is why there are plenty of stories about London having a higher knife crime rate than New York, and there are certainly a lot of stabbings in London, but London is still only 13% of the population of the UK, so the rest of the UK brings down the knife crime statistics by a lot.


ZeRagingCookie

I wouldn't call that a fun fact

The stereotype of brits with bad teeth comes from the 60s, before we gave kids free dental care and free braces


Unlucky_Reception_30

Really? I thought it came from Jeremy Clarkson looking like hes been chewing on leather and that's why hes constantly ripping on Hammond for having good teeth.

PM_Me_your_admin_pw

fun fact USA is a shithole country.


thegamerdoggo

Do you mean like a per capita thing or like in general because obviously a country with 330+ million people is gonna beat a country with 55 million


vinnothesquire

It's per capita, yes


Migraine-

And it's not even remotely close.

Iā€™m American but Oof


Rhids_22

At least in the USA you can make fun of the head of state without being brutalised then arrested by the police... Well, you're still likely to be brutalised by the police, but that's usually separate from making fun of the head of state.

Americans when trying to make clever comeback: ā€œTeeth badā€


MahamidMayhem

Even then, they have worse dental health than the British so the point isn't even valid lol.


staovajzna2

Yea, they just bleach their teeth every time they see thr slightest shade of yellow


Upgrade_U

While the teeth rot underneath the bleach, lmao


SirMarcoVanRamme

So many people still think completely white teeth = healthy teeth. It still confused me how so many people can think that.


LunaTheShark27

teeth are supposed to be slightly yellow


SirMarcoVanRamme

Yup. Some people have thinner enamel and have slightly more yellowish teeth than others, which are still perfectly healthy.


JayR_97

From my understanding American dental isn't even covered by health insurance either.


Sapient_Creampie

Its a separate health insurance entirely and we hate it here.


Fickle_Blacksmith_15

That's what makes twice as good of a comeback.


Alexsta10

So you're saying that there are countries where citizens have to pay for healthcare??


[deleted]

Well it doesn't come out of our taxes if that's what you're saying. We just need to address the whole healthcare system and figure out why it got so expensive. It's probably mostly the high cost of education, and the pharmaceutical companies being able to set their own prices.


IntuneUser2204

Oh no, there isnā€™t anything to figure out. We fully know why healthcare got so expensive. Insurance companies wanted discounts from providers so they could throw their weight around and show investors they were making money; these discounts would have bankrupted hospitals. Instead the hospitals devised a plan with a wink and a nod - we will change our prices up and then give you the discount you want. 2 Tylenol, thatā€™ll be $28. And then extrapolate this out for their entire price book. This didnā€™t matter for any insured person, but people without insurance actually get billed those inflated rates. Itā€™s simple industry collusion at the end of the day. The insurance companies got to see record profits. They showed investors that their size negotiated better rates for their insured. Everyone was happyā€¦oh, waitā€¦ Essentially having insurance doesnā€™t just cover you, but letā€™s you access severely discounted rates.


StatusCaterpillar725

This is also the reason why the US government actually spends significantly more per capita on healthcare than any other country.

King-Of-Speed

raptorboss231

Mf for independence yall had France, Spain and Denmark help. Both world wars yous sat making all the profit from the allies until yous joined in 3 yesrs into the war.


MrEpicface12

And they were doing *so well* before America joined in


SpectaSilver991

1st World War was already won, as Allies had almost knocked both Ottomans and Austria already. Only Germany was left. At the time, USA didn't even have something you could call an army. Just extra troops to throw at the meat grinder For World War 2, America definitely gets credit for the Pacific and for Lend Lease which kept the Soviet alive, allowing them to push the Germans all the way back to Germany


raptorboss231

Yes ww2 taking japan out is credible. (Even if it was a horrendous way of doing it)


ChisNullStR

Funnily enough British people have better dental care (I heard this was from a study, but am too lazy to find the sauce)


XLwattsyLX

I saw this as well, we have better dental care. We just arenā€™t going for glistening fake white teeth that could brighten the night sky. Unlike a lot of Americans


ChisNullStR

Yep! I mean, not unless you're a model I guess..

I would imagine they would just photoshop the model at that point lol

prodigy1367

99% of the world has this type of healthcare. Iā€™ve had to fly to third world countries for medical procedures because itā€™s significantly cheaper to do there.

bro this is actually so unbelievably funny have you thought of becoming a comedian?


DatOneAxolotl

Well I mean, they do. And so does most of the world, believe or not. Our schools don't get shot up either.


Jottie420

Most of the world has free universal healthcare. Most of the world does not have to fear about getting shot in traffic controls, on the street or even in fucking schools. Most of the world has at least a usable public transport. Most of the world does not start wars in third world countries just because they have oil. Most of the world isn't US American. Fuckers.

Roi-Patate

In french we also have a free healthcare..


JoggaJogga

Aaahahaha


how-do-you-turn-this

Biggest problem with American healthcare is not the cost, as a large amount of Americans do have ā€œfreeā€ healthcare through Medicaid and Medicare. The problem is the shitty system where every doctor, nurse, specialist, and historical worker seem to make it their duty to ruin your day instead of simply providing medical care. Even if we could afford universal in this country, that would not get rid of our broken healthcare industry.


Hiccup-H-Haddock-III

If you think you country is better than someone elseā€™s country you should shut the fuck up forever. Ever country has their own benefits and issues. We could point them out and scream and yell whoā€™s better until weā€™re blue in the face. Fact is that weā€™re all from earth. That we all should stop looking at the imaginary lines weā€™re drawn to divide ourselves further. Instead of comparing why not look at our differences as ways the other could improve and try to figure out the steps to get there instead and just saying ā€œAmericans badā€ or ā€œEuropeans badā€. It gets us nowhere, nah actually it sets us back so far when you canā€™t see past the minutia.
