>> I'd switch immediately a well
I doubt it. Someone needs to pay for it, so this switch would have to imply a 20% tax increase. Unless you’re paid peanuts, it’s not worth the tradeoff.

Or you could pay less for it.
There are many studies that show how the US system has incredibly high overhead that simply isn't needed.
Just an example: in the US, a primary care physician usually has a nurse and somebody who handles paperwork, insurance BS, and what not. Most European countries simply don't have this, mostly because there is no insurance BS to deal with.
There is insurance related overhead every step of the way.
And that's not including the free-for-all pricing of $500 saline bags.
Your 20% tax increase is ridiculous. It doesn't have to be nearly that high (and it isn't.) And even though I'm in the highest tax bracket, I'd gladly pay 5% more if it meant quality medical care for everyone without any risk of bankruptcy.

The US health care issue can only be solved by higher taxes and lower cost (it’s currently at 2x the cost of developed countries.)
I know an expat who moved to work for citi in the states from the UK and he was paying around 20% just for him -his wife kids are covered by her federal Job.
UK NI is about 13% and that includes state pension, unemployment and the NHS
I wouldn’t.
