About this listen

Multiple expats share their experiences of living in various countries, contrasting their quality of life abroad with their experiences in the United States. Recurring themes include significantly lower costs of living, superior healthcare systems, and greater social safety nets in other nations. Many contributors express frustration with the high cost of healthcare, prescription drugs, and childcare in the US, as well as the pervasive perception that Americans are routinely overcharged. Several commenters cite better food, public transportation, and overall cultural experiences in their new homes, painting a stark picture of life outside the U.S. as preferable in numerous ways. The overall sentiment is one of disillusionment with the American system and a preference for life elsewhere.
