Yes you're right. It's only 10% ----How could I have been so wrong, whatwith folks trying to get out of the country right and left.
It is way more than 10% in my view. Because as I said previously the U.S. is a fine place to live if you are economically in the upper ten percent
or if you are healthy. You may not have read my entire remark.
Access to routine Healthcare in the U.S. is not a right. Here, access to healthcare, other than "treat and street", is reserved for those who have have money, and/or have an employer that provides health coverage, have dependents, are over 65 and have paid into medicare, or live in a blue State.* There are millions of people who fall into none of these categories. That's a major difference between the U.S. and
all other advanced nations. In other nations, access to healthcare is a right. If you are one of the millions who fall outside the above categories and are unfortunate enough to be unhealthy and make too little money to qualify for a health insurance premium supplement,. you will be far better off in any other advanced nation.
The other curious thing about the U.S. way of handling health care is that the nature of the system is such that by death a significant fraction of those of modest, but normally adequate means, will be virtually bankrupt. These people may work hard and save money, but by the time of their death most of their their assets will have been transferred to the medical sector of the economy. There will be little remaining to transfer to heirs.
