The US pays a lot more than any other country on healthcare. A little GPT magic: In 2021, the healthcare cost per capita in the United States was $12,914. This amount was more than double the average for other comparably large and wealthy countries, which was around $6,003. By comparison, Germany, the country with the second-highest healthcare spending per capita, was at $7,383 Furthermore, taxes make it non optional and everyone gets access. But yeah I had two kids in the last 4 years and besides the taxes I paid a total of 50€ to stay at my wife's side for the THREE days she was in the hospital for a 0 complication natural birth. In the meantime my sister in the US paid over 20k and didn't stay a night in the hospital though she'd been through hell.

The problem with saying other countries pay taxes instead of bills and therefore it doesn't matter is that America spends 2-3 times more on healthcare (per capita and per GDP) than those other countries. America's system costs MUCH more to its citizens. So no, it's not the same either way. Americans are paying more, and its because other countries pay a non profit government, while Americans pay a for profit insurance company, and there are other middle men involved that further inflate costs.

On the medical costs thing. The US does have a very high cost system on an overall cost per appointment/surgery/hospital bed night basis. There are plenty of comparisons available. In the US the large providers are extracting huge profits, this is not the case i. Some other countries. This is how it can be cheaper elsewhere, on a total cost (taxes and direct costs) for the provision of medical care.

I know it's the same in Australia, and, other than the USA they're the only countries I've lived in for any length of time. The best systems seem to be a mix of compulsory public health with optional private for that elective stuff. Point is that the USA costs *double* the next most expensive per person and outcomes are equal at best and that's not even counting the risk of bankruptcy

I am also thinking about going to work in Japan in future, but I have some doubts that I would like to ask about. First is, is the remote work possible there (as a foreigner with a work visa)? Do you work remotely or actually go in the office/hybrid? Second is about work hours, which is dreaded a lot by foreigners (if you go on-site/hybrid), did you have good or bad experience with it? Personally I am myself a genius developer that can do work that normal people do in 8 hours in like 2-3 and I have that as my average daily work time(sometimes even less) and work remote atm. That's why I have doubts. If I go there to work, only to be confined in an office, it wouldn't really make much sense for me since I will lose a lot of useful time I would otherwise have if I stayed where I am right now. I don't have that much money now(and the salary is not that high), and live in a very bad(by a lot of metrics) country(which I will not disclose) with no future possibilities, but it is enough to live an average comfortable life (as a single person living alone), fully remote and having a lot of free time. It is a really hard choice for me in future whether I would want to trade the free time for more salary and work in another(better) country, or continue searching some other unconventional ways to make money (and only then immigrate) throughout the years instead.

@theondono
@theondono 7 месяцев назад
@@stoogel I've seen the statistics, and I'm not convinced of the naive interpretation. First, once you adjust for purchasing power, the gap reduces significantly (Switzerland comes second, around ~40% difference, not 100%). I think it's even naive to assume people will spend proportionally the same, since most people would pay whatever they can comfortably afford, and I think it's easier to see this happening in the data. If you compare health spending per capita in PPP vs GDP per capita (and take out the obvious outliers), you'll see they match pretty closely. Second, the results of that spending should be examined. A lot of articles mention the supposedly "similar or worse results" but I think they are very debatable. One of the common issues is using life expectancy as a proxy, which can fail spectacularly. For example the US uses different criteria when it comes to delivering pregnancies. Everyone in the field knows the place with the best neonatal facilities are all in the US, but you'd never guess that from the numbers. The reason is that the US is counting as "neonatal deaths" lots of babies that are classified as "miscarriages" elsewhere. As you're probably aware, having increased mortality in 0 age babies heavily biases life expectancy as well. There's myriads of other issues like that around this information, and a massive interest by some corporations, politicians and other entities of transitioning the US to a socialized system like the rest of the OECD countries.
@stoogel
@stoogel 7 месяцев назад
@@theondono Life expectancy is just one way quality of healthcare is compared. The US also had 336 avoidable deaths per 100,000 people in 2020 compared to the next highest OECD country (Germany with 195). Shorter hospital stays, fewer physician visits, a lot of it doesn't make sense compared to the high cost in the US. The PPP-adjusted figure is still at least double that of most countries with national health systems. Also, in what company's interest would single-payer be? Not any insurance, hospital, or medical equipment corporation, as it would force their prices down. Look how many drug companies lobbied against and even sued over the new rules that allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices.

If you have access to some highly profitable real estate investment, or some other unique opportunity maybe that’s better but don’t think that’s the case with most people. Just need to ride the index until retirement, and minimize taxes while doing so.

A sign-on bonus is usually the difference between what you ask, and what the employer is willing to pay. The strings attached are that you'll have to pay it back if you leave within a year or two, and you don't have the same compensation the following years.

I'm on board with 99% of your takes, but last time I checked rentals and roth IRA are not better than a 401k. In most cases, your tax bracket is going to be higher when you're older and looking to draw down on your 401k in which case a Roth 401k is probably the way to go. It's essentially the same as putting the money into the stock market except you don't need to manage it separately from your retirement fund, so you can have it taken directly out of your paycheck and not have to worry about it.

9:07 Wat? Why is 401k not a good investment? You should at least maximize your pre-tax to reduce your tax bill now while you're in a high income bracket, then withdraw it when you're retired/in a lower brakcet. Beyond that, you can do post-tax Roth IRA conversion and not pay tax on gains.

immagine needing company specific medical crap.... why not doin healthcare like the rest of the world? :) we pay the same in taxes than the US pays elsewhere... we pay around 40% taxes on a 8k salary, now, if we make the math, we have around 3.2k tax. This isn't entirely accurate, cause the 40% tax is not on the entire salary, but it should be only on the salary above 4k if I'm not mistaken, and on the rest it's 23%. But let's assume 3.2k for a second which is quite exagerated and is more likely 2k. Included in this taxes tho are: - free school up to university - dirt cheap university (1k per year) - no need for any health care - Free visits to my trusted doc in town/city - free first aid - only ticket costs for rest (30 bucks) - free medication - free psychological counceling - Cheap functioning public transport. I can as a fact live without a car and pay about 200 bucks a year for transport (using bus every day to get to work) - streets (the oldest street you find in my region is about 5 years old.... on some mountain road somewhere 10 cars pass per day) - pension Now, this might sound like a lot, but the tax scales with the salary (the lower the salary, the lower the tax), and in the US u typically end up paying the same, but still pay 4 times the amount in healthcare etc (you can actually check out numbers, US overall spends more than most countries in the world for healthcare, tax, pension etc)

Real talk, though: Prioritize bonus and stock when negotiating total comp, if you can. Our salaries are line items on our manager's (and org's) expense sheet. Bonuses and stock are not. When the org needs to cut people, low salary, high bonus and stock let us hide in that expense sheet while still making lots of money.

In Germany you share the bill for medical insurance with your employer, so it is a lot cheaper for the individual. But compared to the mUrIcA a larger percentage of your paycheck goes to insurances and taxes; and salaries, at least for tech, are a lot lower. If you have no job then you can apply for the state to pay your insurance which is a huge plus, I don't know how that is in the US.

Large cities or not, salaries like that don't exist in Europe, unless you're an investment banker in London, Switzerland whataver. Yes we get very nice public transportation (At least here in Vienna), 'free' doctors, and meds, and all the laws, restrictions, regulations, narratives and orgs to make us feel safe, BUT our salaries even before taxes are way lower. Half of that entry salary In Vienna would be considered a very good salary. And the law&order state and the city would then take 1/3 of that, actually more (b/c free meds), and it's still considered a very good salary.

16:40 Florida is the exception to the rule in the south. Major metropolitan areas in south Florida regularly rank in lists of fastest growing cost of living in the US. The state average is only offset by rural areas, and lets just say rural Florida has its "charm", Nothing like rural South Dakota. Regularly hear stories of people moving down from NYC thinking it'll be sweet, just to find out its not what they thought. And if you want to own a house in Florida, what you don't see factored into the cost of living models is high utility rates, and the effects of the Homeowners Insurance crisis. Do research before moving to Florida.

Just an FYI regarding the medical and taxes outside of the US, especially in Europe, of course we pay for it with taxes, BUT the big difference is that the money the working force pays is actually distributed so everyone has a really solid level of healthcare even if they can't work or pay taxes anymore or at the moment, ie. elderly, handicapped, children and even people without jobs. The money spent to this also doesn't even come close to the 1000's of dollars yearly like prime said, and the quallity of medical service especially in the EU countries, UK, Switzerland etc is top notch. With each year of the last 10-15 year looking from those countries into the USA, there is no reason to envy or even defend most of USA systems, y'all are just getting taken for a ride there with the less unfortunate ones having much less opportunities to get back up to a decent standard of living.

Healthcare through taxes IS cheaper than the American system. The whole point is that if the government has to pay for healthcare, they have a vested interest in keeping costs down through legislation such as price caps on medication. For instance, insulin costs approx. 10x more in the US than it does in Europe (depending on the country). The US are pharmaceutical companies' cash cow.

I'm going to be super open about the taxes / health care situation. I'm in a UK country and my national insurance (the healthcare tax, which is a different deduction from every tax) is 5% But my regular tax deduction is 45%. So we are actually better off with the free healthcare system. Facts. But, of course we are still paying.
@cubs9974
@cubs9974 7 месяцев назад
Your overall tax is not 45% though. 45% is the top tax band and so firstly, you must be a high earner. As such you would only ever pay 45% on any earnings over £125k. Tax rates are paid in bands in the uk. Your actual overall earnings paid as tax is effectively around 30%. For example if you earn 130k, you only pay 45% tax on the final 5k. Any earnings below are paid in the relevant bands. I.e. your real % in tax is about 30% as a high earner.

You wouldn't believe how much more the healthcare in US is compared to basically everywhere else. Heck, US spends like 50% more _public_ money _per capita_ on healthcare than the next country, while managing to bankrupt thousands of people with medical debt, even these with private insurance. Insuline price in US is 10-20x more than in vast majority of OECD countries, and none get close to US crazy price. I lived in Switzerland, which is a rather expensive country. My health insurance was covering health expenditures in other countries to up to 2x the cost of equivalent healthcare in Switzerland, or transport to Switzerland, and there was explicit warning that in USA costs will quickly saturate the limit and you should consider immediately picking the transport option, so that it happens before you start paying out of pocket. This is how bad it is.
