Five things to be thankful for as a woman in America

3. Our healthcare providers

Our healthcare system may be expensive, confusing, and in some disarray with respect to how it is paid for, but you can’t be denied urgent medical care in this country. You can walk into any emergency room and get help.

And if you have a difficult chronic condition, there is no place you could get better treatment. America has some of the best doctors and hospitals in the world. People fly thousands of miles to seek out America’s specialists. There’s plenty of problems, to be sure, but no one can deny that this is one of the best countries to get quality care.

As Hirsi Ali said: “We have civil action groups that protect our reproductive rights, we have medical professionals who treat us. We have a community that supports our rights as human beings.”
