This is pretty common. There are a lot of reasons why a huge portion of US renters can't manage to get the check into the landlord by the 5th of the month. Better to check how many are consistently x days (usually 30) behind on rent.

As an American, a significant influx of Americans into a country that offers cheap/free health care would significantly burden your health care systems. Americans eat bad diets, don't do great at exercising, and we rarely visit the doctor until our medical conditions are already critical (on average).
That said, there might be good opportunities for other OECD countries to take advantage of healthy and educated Americans who are fed up with our inability to affect political change for the better.

This is an article that is poorly written and leaves out many things. One being that 2/3 of those unemployed or underemployed have been getting more money than they did when they were working (not "in some cases" as the article suggests). In no way should people have been late on rent yet since the extra $2,400 a month doesn't run out till next week. Those people have been fully taken care of already...you are talking about things you clearly have no grasp of because you don't even live in the US to see what is going on.

Better to keep the comments centered on the topic of the article.
