> I wouldn't mention that not taking care of their health would reflect poorly on their performance review. In fact I wouldn't want them to think about the performance review. The goal is for them to rest, recharge, and not get burnt out, I know you are trying to be considerate, but please do not ever assume people “are not taking care of themselves”, even if true. In the US, there is always a deeper story to it. Generally speaking 50% of the American population has a pre-existing condition. 30-50% of Americans avoid some medical care yearly due to the cost of care. The third leading cause of death is believed to be preventable medical errors (caused by the for-profit nature of our system: our doctors and nurses have excellent training), and the vast majority of these victims likely had pre-existing conditions. We just don’t attribute “preventable medical error” as a cause of death on US death certificates like we should. See: https://www.bmj.com/content/353/bmj.i2139 https://www.bmj.com/content/353/bmj.i2139 Also, the system is not designed to ensure the health of the populace, even if you are “rich” and “have good insurance” and “can afford to pay for healthcare with insurance coverage”. Pretty much every other industrialized and developed country is outpacing us in longevity. The system is not meant to prevent disease and it is very ineffective at it. It profits on the already sick. It really is a grotesque system.

When your health insurance is tied to your work, you are screwed if you have a pre-existing condition. This is why I will never work in the US, as a dual US|EU citizen with 2 rare immune mediated neurological diseases affecting my peripheral nervous system plus type 1 diabetes (autoimmune and insulin dependent). The neurological diseases are in remission, but I have to take a certain blood product, administered in a certain way, in large quantities, for life. It is known as subcutaneous immunoglobulin. It is far easier to access this is western/Northern European countries than the US, too.
