Exactly. I'll add that the universal healthcare question is IMHO, underrated in it's power to reveal how close to a "progressive utopia" a place really is.
I have considered moving to the USA (which is a viable option for me, for reasons that I wont go into here), and the question "but, which state?" always stops me. I start with the revealing question "what's the guns-to-healthcare ratio there?"
In the words of US/Canadian author William Gibson:
"People who feel safer with a gun than with guaranteed medical insurance don't yet have a fully adult concept of scary"
