No, US healthcare is many times more expensive than healthcare in developed countries with universal healthcare.
You are being bled dry by the insurance industry while still parrotting their propaganda in favour of them.
Insurance companies are optimized for keeping you sick until medicare. Then you are Medicare's problem and they never paid out. Pure profit at the low cost of health and suffering of millions.
You all need to work on reading comp, it'd be clear to any who are fluent in English that I was discussing the moving costs and emigration costs being higher than health insurance costs here.
I don't think moving to another country costs over $1,000,000 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/21/upshot/covid-bills-financial-long-haulers.html
Most insurance doesn't cost that much here I'm not sure that source is extremely applicable to 99 percent of Americans.
And 99% of Americans aren't moving. But the few that are moving, are doing so because they don't wanna be in that 1%
Should tell you something that everyone wants to move into the US but no one wants to move out. That fact is backed up the Rae numbers.
Maybe, it's not SO bad
I can give you personal examples that contradict both your arguments. Also, I don't know what Rae numbers are but the fact that Americans are moving to Europe is provided in this article : https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/02/travel/travel-news-us-families-relocate-europe/index.html
Yeah Americans occasionally do decide to leave but to pretend more leave than come in is straight up delusional
I don't think I ever claimed that. In fact, I don't think anyone in this thread claimed that.
And you need to work on your math comprehension. It would be clear to any who can understand basic arithmetic that lifetime healthcare costs in the US are far and away higher than emigration costs.
Source?
