Sentiments on Luigi seem to put him on the same level as Rosa Parks or Jesus Christ if not higher both on HN and Reddit but that is ancedotal

Could you say a bit more about the politics? this is very fascinating idk much about insurance or politics

This may be super simplistic but Europe, if you look at it at a high level, is as diverse as US states if not more because a lot of places have multi party systems instead of a two party system with comparable diverse interest groups and comparable GDP etc

What did they figure out to have insurance that the US can't? Or doesn't want to?

Not sure how I can say it more clearly. Most European countries have a functioning political system where it is easy (or at least possible) to pass necessary laws. The US doesn’t.
