The three first Google results for 'Quality of Life index' put the USA at the 16, 12 and 10th place.
While salary in Italy, France and Germany may not be as high as in Switzerland, they all have longer maternity leave, bigger number of vacation, better public transportation and better benefits than in the USA
- jfoutz 11y agoSane health care is the biggest one.
- agumonkey 11y agoThere was another long and widely exposed article about an American citizen going to Europe (France IIRC) to treat his father's cancer. He said that healthcare spirit only would have been worth it, more human and less a business than in the USofA. I guess we should all travel to get perspective on our local environments and see what's possible with different organizations and beliefs.
- jfoutz 11y agoEh, outside of the U.S. just watch the first 1/2 season of breaking bad. It's fiction, of course, but deciding to cook crystal meth to pay for cancer treatment is an idea that would only make sense in the U.S.
