Well, there's one country I'm not moving to. It amuzes me that a first world country, hell, a global superpower, doesn't have any of that stuff, it would benefit everyone, especially free healthcare because you wouldn't have to worry about going bankrupt just to get that surgery you know you need. It doesn't even have to be free, just making it affordable for everyone is already a huge step.
FYI, many Americans do have many of these things, they just aren't mandated or evenly distributed to all citizens.
It's still fucked, though.
Do you really have it if your employer can take it away?
Right, which is worse in many ways.
Weird.
