#I've heard too many horror stories from coworkers who had health emergencies in foreign countries

Do you think this is something that is only true in America? Do you think America is the only country where people live an hour away from hospitals? Do you think most countries are 100% walkable with no rural areas that lack transit? Do you think the defining factor in what makes a country walkable is whether or not there are no places that don't have hospitals? How the fuck does this have 22k notes???

I'm so fucking tired of people thinking the rest of the world outside the US is some sort of interconnected public transit paradise. Yes the US lacks a train system that would benefit it greatly. Yes our urban centers are designed to be car centric. This is still a silly post that could only originate from an extremely narrow view of what life is like outside the US.
