On god, US is such a dystopia I always remain flabbergasted when people talk about the american dream. My third world country (Romania) is a shithole but at least I can hope to pay for serious medical illnesses if I go jobless.

Honestly, most foreigners would probably prefer to live in Romania than the USA right now. The US is the shithole country.

As an American, I would prefer Romania right now. Tell us more about this healthcare you have...

The service itself is not great, especially in smaller cities, but it’s quite cheap compared to private healthcare and in big cities you actually have decent to good treatment. My dad has treatable diabetes (doesn’t require insulin) and spends something like 50 euros a month for them. Not free, but affordable.

Bad part of Romania is the rampant corruption and lack of infrastructure. It’s gotten better the past years but still behind western countries.

While we're on the way down the corruption hole, hopefully you can set an example for us to crawl out
