But firefighters, the army, and doctors won't work for free.
The fundamental difference is I actually feel like I'm getting something for my money.
A few bucks a paycheck, no matter where I work, automatically give me access to some of the best healthcare on the planet.
I don't have to join a union or chase companies with widely varying qualities of benefits.
I needed an X-ray for broken ribs a couple years ago.
I paid nothing and got it done without an appointment. So fast. So easy.
And our medications aren't MASSIVELY overpriced. Since the government is paying from the tax pool, they have an interest in not paying whatever-the-fuck price the pharmaceutical companies dictate.
Sure there is room for improvement, but I would specifically never move to the States because a single accident or illness can suffocate you in debt for life.
So if you really want to keep "good" immigrants out, keep on being a second world country in healthcare.
It's actually pathetic your country hasn't figured this out by now. So busy with that senile orangutan in the white house.
