Well, there's one country I'm not moving to. It amuzes me that a first world country, hell, a global superpower, doesn't have any of that stuff, it would benefit everyone, especially free healthcare because you wouldn't have to worry about going bankrupt just to get that surgery you know you need. It doesn't even have to be free, just making it affordable for everyone is already a huge step.

America isn't a first world country. It favors the rich in the same way as most African and Central Asian nations.
The first/second/third world designation is a cold war relic. America is first world by definition, but we probably should have ditched the whole framework after the Berlin Wall fell.
Yet it still considers itself a global superpower with the biggest economy in the world (or one of the biggest, I can't even remember). To me, it's just laughable that they made it to this point.
Superpower in terms of military dominance maybe, but that's about it.
You just made everything make sense.
FYI, many Americans do have many of these things, they just aren't mandated or evenly distributed to all citizens.
It's still fucked, though.
Right, which is worse in many ways.

They imported workers from countries that have free education.
Countries with labour laws and free education: "Learn and work, work and learn!"
Australia could have been included here, the only missing one is free 'college' which is known as University here.
Isn't UK NHC for citizens only?
No, residents can access it.
Thanks. What are requirements for residents? Is it provided to all residents, certain group or voluntary?
Well, at least for white working families. Middle easterners are under constant attack in those countries.
