This is an 8-panel (4 paired rows) meme using characters from the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants: Man Ray and Patrick Star. The sequence follows Man Ray presenting a series of factual points about the US healthcare system to Patrick: confirming Patrick has a health insurance card, noting US residents pay more per capita for healthcare than any other country, pointing out citizens could save roughly $1000 per year under a single-payer system, and concluding the US should adopt universal healthcare like every other developed nation. Patrick agrees with all of these individual facts immediately, before abruptly rejecting the conclusion entirely, shouting that universal healthcare will never work in the US and insulting Man Ray as a communist. The meme satirizes the perceived contradictory ideological stance many people in the US hold regarding healthcare policy, where they accept all supporting facts for universal healthcare but oppose it out of ingrained anti-socialist sentiment.

This is a satirical reaction meme using a still shot of the character Magneto (played by Michael Fassbender) from the X-Men film series, who is shown looking upward with a shocked, awe-struck expression and mouth slightly agape. The text overlaid at the top of the image reads 'EUROPEANS DURING AN AMERICAN WORLD CUP MILITARY FLYOVER REALIZING WHERE OUR HEALTHCARE BUDGET WENT'. The joke critiques United States government spending priorities, pointing out that large amounts of public funding are allocated to the military for expensive displays like flyovers at sporting events, while the country lacks robust, affordable public healthcare, leaving European viewers who have access to public healthcare shocked at the misallocation of funds.

This meme uses the popular stern unimpressed child reaction template to deliver a sarcastic response to the news that Mexico implemented universal healthcare. The top text sets the context: 'Mexico: Gets universal health care / Me:'. The image is split into three panels of the same young boy, with text printed on his shirt that reads 'CONGRATS', 'HAPPY FOR YOU', and 'NICE' respectively. The boy's consistent angry, unimpressed expression makes the congratulations read as insincere and indifferent, which is the core joke of the meme.
