    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.
