We're not a developed nation the the US. Bring a developed nation is a moving target. As the world's idea of what it means to have a healthy and safe society progresses, a nation must progress with those standards.
The US was a developed nation, but has since failed to keep up with it's peers over the last 40 years now. We are a very wealthy nation who is rapidly rotting away at the core. Our inability to keep our people fed, healthcare available, preserve the ability for people to own homes, ensure that people have lives beyond work, and to have a route for upwards mobility all demonstrate a nation not achieving the standards set of the developed world.
We have lots of money (in total), but not a healthy and successful society.
