Redwolfdc@alien.topBtoExpats•Decoding the American Dream: Are the pros enough to outweigh the cons of moving to the US?English

1 year agoI think the thing that sucks about the US is your health insurance is tied very much to your employment. And you need insurance no matter what your health situation is because the risk of having to pay out of pocket for something can be immense.
You can have excellent healthcare plan in the US if you work a skilled career full time for a mega corporation. But it can be difficult to navigate otherwise. Those who are self-employed, retired early, or in any situation outside of a normal W2 FT job have to get creative to have access to decent insurance.
There is but you have to qualify for those. Medicaid is not that great from what I’ve seen and many doctors don’t want to take it. Medicare is very decent insurance but only generally available to those 65+, along with some other exceptions of course.
