There's not a single country that doesn't have problems. But being the leader of the Western world, the United States of America is held to a high standard and its issues are often viewed through a magnifying glass, both internally and internationally. And the subreddit 'A Normal Day In America' is trying to bring some humor to these discussions.

Created in 2014, it now has 33.1k members, and according to the community's 'About' section, it focuses on things like toddlers in tiaras, guns in supermarkets, $100k hospital bills, obese babies, and other "everyday occurrences" in the US.

    That's incredibly well done but it's sad that the richest country in the world can't give a little boy a walker.

    This reminds me of the 1920s recession in Australia. You could take and slaughter a sheep for food as long as you left the skin behind for farmers to get paid back for their loss from the government. Sometimes it's just fair enough...

    I got married in a ceremony but never got -legally- married because we need my husband's disability benefits to get by and they would be reduced if my income was a factor.

    My brother put off marrying his wife for several years because she had cancer and if they got married, it would be a pre-existing condition on his insurance and her treatment would no longer be covered.

    I know a person who has a brain tumor and took federal disability to basically pay off his student loans while his tumor is in remission. He hopes to live long enough to get another job where he can afford his medical bills eventually.

    My husband and I purposely got jobs that were contract work/fee-for-service/self employed so that we would qualify for medical assistance since we did not work for companies that had the employee options for health insurance. So basically, I get 90% better coverage if I don't work. That is messed up.

    Why is that a solution for US citizen. They must accept that universal health care is a basic human right and learn to fight with their government and their insurance company, not to leech other countries. They live in a country were they pay taxes so they NEED to force the government to protect them.

The girl was in the ICU within 2 weeks with COVID. Her RN mother refused to let the doctors intubate her for treatment. The girl was dead within a month. How is this not murder?
