For one, our healthcare is free. Though many companies still provide private healthcare as a benefit. Personally I agree with OP, I wouldn't want to live in the US either. Mainly because capitalism has been taken to an ugly extreme and you might get paid more but you also work more etc. Not to mention the tax and tips culture. Of course there are problems here too; it rains a lot more, and every conversation that goes on long enough always ends up as some sort of brexit complaint ...

> every conversation that goes on long enough always ends up as some sort of brexit complaint To be fair, we definitely have a problem with normal/non-political conversations suddenly turning political as well. It's even a problem that started in 2016, too :/.

Private health care in the UK is a scam just gives you an extra tax bill for no real advantage

The major disadvantage of the UK is: Shoebox "houses". Or what we call them houses. So its raining a lot outside, but we also do not feel comfortable inside, at home, because it is ridiculously small and normally very old. bad weather and cage-homes, deeply depressing combination. Th main advantage of the US: Big homes (if you choose not to live in SF or NYC) and good weather.
