Living in Eastern Europe, I am paying both the tax burden AND private medical insurance and care since I do not want to end up in state hospitals. I would much rather live in the USA and pay private insurance enjoying the standard of care there.
It's the hill I live on, so I will probably die here.

Well, do what all reasonable Eastern Europeans do and go to an OECD country minus Mexico or Hungary or so :-))

I did that for a while, but I'd rather be part of the solution: I can do much more good and help many more people over here.
And I also do not enjoy the hard left turn of the recent Western politics. Although I am sure they will realize their mistake eventually and turn back to the principles that brought their prosperity - I am afraid it will be a bumpy ride.
And countries with comparable stats like waiting times pay less overall.
Don't die on this hill, it's not worth it.
