Currently watching Shameless where (lacking) health insurance in the USA is a huge thing. People having to pay amounts like 60.000 $ or more to survive, it's so horrible. I tried researching what kind of (public) health insurances there are but it's very confusing. I'm paying 300€/Month, a certain % of my income, and mostly everything is covered (complex dental stuff and glasses are not, this sucks).
Of course there are many countries with worse health insurance than in the EU but I grew up with the notion that the USA is a golden better world than ours. Nowadays I am even unsure if I would go over there for vacation for safety reasons (well don't have the money anyway but I want to see NY and New England).
