While some athletes have raved about the muffins and others have complained about the cardboard beds, some American Olympians are taking advantage of the free healthcare. Team USA rugby player Ariana Ramsey didn't just get a bronze medal in Paris — she's had a pap smear, X-ray, teeth cleaning, and an eye test. She's posted about this on TikTok, influenced other athletes in the Village to visit medical professionals, and now plans to fight for universal healthcare in the U.S. Here's more from Sports Illustrated.

America should be ashamed.
No one should ever have to delay medical care due to cost.
The US is the only developed country that doesn’t guarantee healthcare to its citizens, and as a result they have extremely poor outcomes & lower life expectancy.
Healthcare is a human right.
