On Reddit, to responses like this ("America is incapable of universal healthcare because... Reasons") I like to link to the Wikipedia pages of the multitude of other countries with far lower GDPs solving the problem.

I can probably predict the response but on the chance I'll be surprised - why can't America solve the problem when Taiwan, Switzerland, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, Canada, Finland, Norway, etc etc etc have or nearly have?

(I have received healthcare in several of these countries and an readily prepared with counterpoints to the inaccurate "healthcare isn't good / lines are long in those countries" arguments, fair warning)
