I have the freedom to get good healthcare at a price that I can afford in the USA. I've always had access to health care, even when I was poor enough to get behind on rent and living on rice. We have government subsidized health care in the USA available to the poor at county health departments and hospitals.
I have the freedom to travel anywhere I want that roads lead to, with my paid-off cars that have very little cost of upkeep. I am not limited by the distance that my feet can take me or where public transportation can take me to.
I'm free to not worry about self defense because I live in a safe area, and I also have the right to bear arms to prepare for self defense if my safety ever were in question.
I'm pretty content with this status quo compared to any other option.
You're lucky you don't have any issues with these.
The US healthcare system causes issues for many. Here's one user describing the issues they had. The US also spends more per capita than any other OECD nation.
Not everyone can drive, whether it be due to age, disability, or lack of resources. I can drive if I want to, but I also have a comprehensive public transport system available to me which means I don't need to, and it vastly reduces pedestrian deaths and air pollution.
