> And what are the deductibles and co-pays? What are the bankruptcy rates and how many of them are because of medical bills? Depends on your insurance, but obviously lower than in the US. I don't know what US-insurance companies usually cover, public health care in Germany is so-so, e.g. if you need glasses, they won't pay, so you've have to pay for those yourself. The US system certainly has plenty of issues, and I'm not saying that European systems aren't superior, I'm just saying that we pay much more. This obviously has a smaller effect in low-income people as their healthcare, social benefits etc will be subsidized by others, but if you're working in a high-skill profession, you'll take home a lot less of your paycheck than in the US. Unless the high earners in the US are fine with significantly reducing their net income, I don't think you'll find a lot of support.
