- munk-a 4y agoIn Germany's defense, at least, Switzerland has some of the most insane wages in the world, and the cost of living there is equally high.
- bratwurst3000 4y agoA friend of mine is working in bern and his salaray is 7400 franken. Minus taxes that are nothing (10% or so) and health care ( insane 120 franken.. i pay 600€ in germany) there is much left. Apartments are around 1000-2000, food etc is another 1000… blablabla point is he can safe much more money per month than more german workers make after taxes.
- MomoXenosaga 4y agoThey are looking into getting nurses from the Philippines and Africa. Works for the UK maybe but there's a huge language barrier for the rest of Europe. Besides they need their health workers too.
- cogman10 4y agoSomething that should always be considered is US healthcare is an expensive nightmare. Public healthcare is a HUGE benefit that I think a lot of outside of US people underestimate. (And no, nurses don't get free healthcare from their hospitals. They have the same terrible insurance everyone else gets). For example, I have to pay $9000 a year BEFORE my insurance starts covering healthcare costs. (at $5000 my insurance starts paying out and I owe 10% of the bill). My insurance does not cover medicine costs at all.

- missedthecue 4y agoI wonder if "free government healthcare" would increase your tax liability by more or less than $9000
