America has public schools, but they mostly suck. I would take a profit driven private school over a public one any day. I would also take dealing with a corporation’s customer service over a government office like the DMV any day.
And while you mention healthcare, the actual problem is that they aren’t profit driven enough and instead exist as this Frankenstein’s monster of a public/private partnership. I currently live in a 3rd world country with no health insurance or government intervention in medicine and healthcare and the system works well(ish). Fixing a broken bone or getting a tooth pulled is only going to set you back $10. And while this is a lot for poor people, it’s still only between 2-10 days salary for an average person.
That being said, there are major trade-offs in quality. I wouldn’t recommend giving birth or getting a life saving treatment here, but for anything somewhat routine, the healthcare provides great value. Also, all meds are over the counter and are very cheap. One med in particular is 100x cheaper here than the out of pocket costs in America.
