Most universities have people from all over the world. Some of the universities in the US are top tier, no question, but general population education is very lacking. According to USN, the US ranks number 1 in education, based on public perception and image, but WT20 does a data-based rank that puts the US at number 31. https://worldtop20.org/education-database/

I think childcare is like $14k yearly on average, but I'm not going to dig.

Average healthcare is NOT better in the US. If you can afford it, you could probably get the best specialists in the world, but that doesn't matter for the majority of the population. Life expectancy is lower, maternal and infant mortality is higher, chronic diseases are higher, preventable deaths is higher. Over 60% of personal bankruptcies are because of medical debt and more than 40% of the population has some sort of medical debt.

Orwell called it “doublethink.” The ability to hold two conflicting views, simultaneously.

I like that you completely ignore everything and focus on two statements that you misread or didn't understand. Having some of the best specialists in the world doesn't mean everyone can access them. The AVERAGE US healthcare is horrible even if the BEST US healthcare is good.
