Been seeing a lot about how the government passes shitty laws, lot of mass shootings and expensive asf health care. I come from a developing nation and we were always told how America is great and whatnot. Are all states is America bad ?

    True, I do have an above average plan. At my old job my plan was even better. Probably among the best plans possible. I paid $20 for every doctor visit, $50 for any specialist/ER visit, and never a penny more. But then we got bought out by another company and I basically didn’t have insurance anymore. I had an $8000 deductible, which means I needed to spend $8000 in a year before insurance kicked in. This was a number I would never get to. That was the reason I left and found a new job. Which highlights the problems you mentioned with it being tied to employers. Luckily my profession was in-demand at that time (it is not currently), and I was able to find a new new job extremely quickly. If that happened today, I would probably be fucked.
