> If you can afford it, you also have access to higher quality of care than almost anywhere else. If I had a severe disease or got into a bad accident, I would want to be a well-to-do American with good insurance living in a major city.
Have you tested that?
Good family friends had a baby in California. They’re both high level teachers, have been for 15 years at this point. Gets complicated, c section.
Less that 10 hours later someone comes to the bedside and says this is costing the insurance company $60k a day and they have to move to a new hospital. Now. In their own car. With no wheelchair. With a 10 hour old baby and a wife that just had a c section.
They have great health insurance, have paid premiums their entire lives.
What a scam.
Also, heaven forbid you want to take a year or two off to be with family or write a book or just live.
Also my partner currently has 18 month’s maternity leave, fully paid.

That is a very, very big no thanks.
