Not in the US, and I myself am doing fine. I earn about 30k after taxes, job is quite chill and for the moment it is safe, rent is about 12k a year, and I have some savings to not worry about the immediate future. But I can feel it coming, one way or the other.
If the fascists don’t ruin the country too quickly, I should have almost-everything-paid-for health insurance and protection against unjust dismissal for the foreseeable future. As I said, not in the US.
And I’m lucky enough to have enough savings to live a year or two without a job, even without welfare.
I am more worrier about how they grind up what is left of the economy between the US, China and “we need 500000 tanks to fight Russia”. And desperate people vote for easy answers, hence the fascists. If the US serves as an example, they will accelerate the decline, but at least they will shoot some brown people in the process, yay…
Ouch, that sucks. I am amazed how there is not a landslide majority in the US to fix the healthcare system, one way or another. Even if I didn’t have insurance, paid everything out of pocket, it would still be cheaper than the US, for what I believe is a comparable standard.
But then again, the average voter probably knows nothing about the world and is fed too much propaganda. I can see it starting here, too.
The problem is the systems seems alright if you essentially don’t use it which is the situation with a majority of people. Then they get fed the bs about long wait times and how we have the best most advanced stuff. Which for the first part we have long wait times and increasingly so and those most advanced stuff is enjoyed by politicians and rich folk but less from the average joe.

your situation sounds ok as long as you stay healthy.

yeah. I have a sick wife and healthcare was a third of my monthly nut. If the us had universal healthcare I would be able to keep going for some time.
