This is objectively untrue by pretty much any measure.

For instance on plenty of health related metrics the US is significantly worse than most first world countries (such as infant mortality), and some regions are worse than even many third world countries (such as Texas).

The idea that poor people are significantly better off in the USA is a flat out lie.
