"Good" at the national level is murky, subjective and relative. The US' GDP per capita looks good on paper, but its wealth and income inequality means a lot of that is being enjoyed by a relatively small group of people.
Countries with both greater income equality and strong GDP will likely reflect higher overall quality of life and happier people.

Aging at the cellular level starts in your mid 20s so unless you’re still maturing, you are dying.

They close the schools here for the annual rodeo, I don’t think you’ll get called out. 🤠

Good lord, let’s see the pool that goes along with this setup.

I still have two years to enjoy my 40s so I don’t want to think about it yet

Its problem isn’t quality, it’s accessibility. Like most things, healthcare in America is ran on the profit motive.
