Comment on I'm a US citizen, people in other countries, what do you think when you read stories like these about the US health care system?

The US healthcare system has provided me with lots of entertainment value via John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight. I like it for that

For real though, despite being a software engineer who could find a very lucrative job in the US in a heartbeat, there’s no way in hell I’ll ever even remotely consider it, and the healthcare system is one of the reasons.

As a software engineer, you’d likely get a well paying job that included better health insurance than most people get. Also you’d be more likely to be able to afford the gaps that would still exist. You would not be affected by half these horror stories

  Not OP, but living in the system is supporting the system so I prefer to just live somewhere else. Going to the States for vacation is plenty to experience the cool things
