Castro did do that and it was a very bad idea! However things have changed pretty drastically in Cuba since then for gay people and yeah, I think we should ape their model for socialized medicine because it's had impressive results despite inhumane sanctions by us.

Also transgender people have better healthcare for their transitions than they do in the large majority of the US so you can gently caress off with your whataboutism in service of imperialism.

this is an extremely complicated question without an objectively correct answer, but if you're going by metrics besides most military power or most money wasted (for ex the amount we spend on education and healthcare vs outcomes), "the united states" is almost never it

it's pretty far from the bottom on most of them too, but if you think about it, it's sad to gradually backslide into mediocrity and decay while loudly proclaiming yourself emperor of the world
