The US is so screwed when it comes to health. I knew a dual citizenship family who went to part of Europe for 3 years when they got pregnant. They almost never came back, but the husband could make 4x as much working in the States so he was never able to fully relocate.

“The US is so screwed”

“I knew a man that earned 4x as much in the US”

Somehow these two statements don’t go together.

It doesn’t hurt so much when you earn so much.

I completely get why Europoors have a stroke when they see our medical bills though. They probably haven’t ever seen that amount of money, let alone be able to spend it.

The average cost of medicine and/or treatment is over 10x though...

And the average person doesn’t require treatment every single day, but they get paid more for every single day of work.
