Yes disrupting social inertia is hard. But it's compounded in the states with medical insurance tied to their job. It's yet one more thing preventing people from moving, even if they want to.
Not only that, if you move in the states you will want a job already lined up. If you build up a bunch of savings and then move to find a new job you won't be covered and so it's more of a risk.
- vonmoltke 10y agoI can tell you that medical insurance is about #5 on my list of reasons I am not moving without a job lined up. I think you are overstating the importance of medical coverage and understating the other factors that come with an out-of-area move.
- dalore 10y agoIt's number #5 for you, but it's still on your list. If you had a preexisting expensive medical condition, it would be #1 on your list. Most other countries, it's not even considered a factor.
- vonmoltke 10y agoI have a pre-existing condition. Don't presume to judge me based on the inflated importance you give to medical coverage. And so what if it is on my list? Taking it off removes so little friction that it is effectively irrelevant.
