> The US justice system is one of the best arguments against the US being a first world country.
Also healthcare. It is one of the few "first" world countries where a bankruptcy due to a medical accident is a very real danger. Obamacare helps some but we are far away from having healthcare worthy of a civilized country.
In most countries, certainly all the english-speaking ones other than the US, even if you were homeless and came down with cancer, assuming you survived, you would walk out of hospital months later with no bill whatsoever.
