American troops storm the beaches of Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944.
D-Day was the largest seaborne invasion in history. More than 150,000 Allied troops -- about half of them Americans -- invaded Western Europe, overwhelming German forces in an operation that proved to be a turning point in World War II. U.S. troops wait to disembark a landing craft on D-Day. American troops help their injured comrades after their landing craft was fired upon. Allied forces secured the beaches at a cost of about 10,000 casualties. French commandos equipped with bicycles disembark from their landing craft after Allied forces stormed the Normandy beaches. The British Army's 50th Infantry Division lands on beaches in Normandy.
An aerial view shows 32 intentionally sunk American merchant ships that served as a breakwater as well as anti-aircraft platforms. Traffic builds up on the beach and on the road leading to Le Hamel, France, during the landing of the 50th Infantry Division.

(Wikimedia) As excited as American liberals and proponents of expanding access to health care might be about the Supreme Court's decision to largely uphold the Affordable Care Act, the U.S. still stands out from much of the developed world in state efforts to make medical care available to the public. If universal health care in the U.S. is your goal, then today was a big step forward, but maybe also a reminder of how far behind America still lags. The above map shows, in green, countries that administer some sort of universal health care plan. Most are through compulsory but government-subsidized public insurance plans, such as the UK's National Health Service. All Time Worldwide Box Office Grosses.
