Team USA rugby player Ariana Ramsey has taken on a new cause after her experience at the Paris Olympic village: advocating for free healthcare.

While many athletes raved about the free food, especially those viral chocolate muffins, Ramsey was most impressed by the free healthcare services available to Olympians.

In a series of TikTok videos, the bronze medalist shared her surprise and excitement about receiving dental care, a Pap smear, and an eye exam—all at no cost. She expressed how eye-opening this was, especially as someone from the United States, the only developed country without universal healthcare.

I quite literally love it here. The way the Olympic village has free healthcare, but America doesn’t😣 #o#olympicso#olympicvillageo#olympiant#teamusar#rugbyb#bronzemedalist

Ramsey declared she’s making free healthcare her new mission. “The fact that I’m so excited about getting free dental care is crazy,” she said, adding that it’s become her new “fight for action.” She also voiced her frustration with the current healthcare system in the U.S., saying, “There’s no reason why me, an American girl, should be so amazed by free healthcare.”

Her experience has sparked a conversation about the differences in healthcare systems and the need for change in America.



People, mostly Americans, immediately were moved by the possibilities of free healthcare.

Folks shared what they would be doing in her shoes.

But isn't it sad and weird that it's such an exciting concept in one of the richest countries on earth?

People pointed out that, at least in terms of healthcare access, Americans fall into an entirely different category of wealth.

Trump himself is widely believed to be in the Epstein files—said to contain detailed lists of some of the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's most high-profile clients and enablers—and has rejected calls by his followers to release them, admonishing critics of Bondi, who recently concluded no such list exists, despite previously claiming the exact opposite.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

Racist Guy Caught On Video Tearing Through Iraqi Soccer Fans' Banner At Dallas Airport: 'Don't Come To America'

With the United States set to host the 2026 World Cup, a video out of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is drawing attention for a very different reason: showing a man ripping apart an Iraqi soccer fan’s banner and telling them, “Don’t come to America.”

The video, posted on Instagram, shows a group of Iraqi sports fans standing in an airport holding a banner with Arabic and Spanish writing. The fans were there to support Iraq during their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, which resulted in a 2-1 upset victory earlier that day.
