The vast majority of us are a bad year away from sleeping on the streets. Just decoupling healthcare from employment would be amazing.
It happens all the time. Any serious illness will stop you from working. You then have no way to pay for treatment, and then your stuck.
Not to mention Europe is much safer by several orders of magnitude. Both the UK and France are very diverse and safe.
Cars are expensive. Try affording healthcare insurance, a car, car insurance and out of pocket medical expenses on an average income. People just skip things, drive around without insurance and ignore easily treatable illnesses.
Eventually it all falls apart.
It's a horrible system for almost everyone, but billionaires.
Like I said, America is a casino. It's fun when your winning, but very few come out ahead.
You know, I can cut a lot of nonsense comments we'll need to work through by just asking this:
Which nation are you referring to? Broke Greece? Unemployed Spain? Walled-off Britain? No-government France? Dictator-run Turkey? Dictator-run Russia? Dictator-run Belarus? Economically-stagnated Germany? Nervous-of-invasion nordic states? Like, where is this utopia?
Ironic you bring this up as government workers are expected to work without pay during the shutdown.
France has a fraction of the crime of the US. They have plenty of immigrants.
Healthcare outcomes are significantly better.
Greece, while having less billionaires, has a significantly longer life expectancy than the US.
I guess if you're a billionaire America offers lower taxes. For everyone else it's a raw deal.
The main issue is if you're poor life is hell, and it's very easy to fall off.
No country is perfect, but our healthcare system alone puts us below most developed countries.
As a bonus even if you leave the US you're still expected to pay taxes. Aside from Eritrea, no one other country does this.
