I live in Canada for 10 years... > At least until recently people would still go bankrupt because of medical emergencies. On the flip side, they get the long term care they need earlier and more reliably. They can also get this care based on medical advice as opposed to political opinions. There is a reason I moved from Canada to the US for health care, and I've paid less for that care here in the US. > People have to save for lifetime to send their children to collage. Depends on where you want to send them. Send your children to MIT and see what you have to pay. > Politics is populistic. It's that way in other countries as well. You just tend to hear more about it because it's the US. > The legal system is unjust in some areas (e.g. legal defense against bogus charges can drive you into bankruptcy). Again, this can happen anywhere, and it the exception rather than the rule. > Immigration decisions are arbitrary and unpredictable. Immigration? Sure. We still let in more than most countries (every other country?). Or are you talking about border entry? > Business has a large(r) influence in the government. Larger? Hardly. Just as large. Do not think for a moment that large companies aren't entrenched in other governments as well. Really, what it comes down to is this: > If you are poor, most of the times you basic needs are still covered And that's true in the US as well. Yes, not all parts of the US are equal. We have 50 states, all with their own rules and regulations that are completely different from one another.
