US Olympian Stunned After Receiving Free Healthcare In The Olympic Village In Paris

US Olympian Stunned After Receiving Free Healthcare In The Olympic Village In Paris

Rugby player and bronze medalist Ariana Ramsey spoke out in a series of viral TikToks about getting a free Pap smear in the Olympic village, as well as free dental and vision appointments.

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.

Fox News Host Jessica Tarlov Slams Jesse Watters For Hypocrisy About Deadly Texas Floods

Speaking on Fox News' The Five, Jessica Tarlov called out her co-host Jesse Watters for not holding President Donald Trump accountable for the ongoing deadly floods in Texas as he did former President Joe Biden during Hurricane Helene last year.

The flash flood disaster has claimed the lives of at least 110 people as of this writing. Among the victims were 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp along the banks of the Guadalupe River. Officials warn that the death toll is likely to rise as search and rescue efforts continue amid widespread devastation.

Tearful Alex Jones Says He's Gonna 'Throw Up' After Pam Bondi Now Claims There's No 'Epstein List'

InfoWars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was openly tearful after Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed that the so-called Epstein files—documents related to the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein rumored to contain the names of Epstein's most high-profile enablers—do not exist.

The claim that Epstein had no list of clients to whom underage girls were trafficked marks a public reversal of a theory previously amplified by the Trump administration. Earlier this year, Bondi had suggested in a Fox News interview that such a document existed and was “sitting on my desk” awaiting release.
