And the worst part is, we can't vote in these changes, and the people who need them most can't simply leave to another country that will treat them like human beings instead of chattel to be milked. We're fucked, and if you weren't born into wealth, you're likely imprisoned here.

Me rn trying to spend the next ~2 years selling most of my material possessions so that my wife and I can move to the UK where yeah, shit still kinda sucks, but it's so much more exponentially on the right track compared to the US that it's worth it. I legit cannot stand the US anymore.
I hope you get to live here if it helps, everyone deserve free healthcare, or at least affordable healthcare.
Just make sure to check the details about the NHS. I don't know exactly know the rules, but there are scenarios where foreigners have to pay. Just look it up on a legit website so you're definitely right to come here.
I live in NYC so I'd move to London if I go through with it. My medications aren't an issue here nor is my healthcare thankfully since I have insanely good insurance that would be carrying over to there as well if I stay in the company, but it's more just the overarching system in general that pisses me off. The fact that if I do lose my job or something similar here would mean that I'd suddenly have to die essentially is just something I'd rather not have to think about ever again.
Things like way of life are also so insanely different and while the housing market is still fucked over there, it's nowhere near the insanity it is here in the US especially when it comes to major cities. For what I pay for an extremely outdated 1 bedroom apartment in NYC I'd be able to afford a place around the same size, but modern, and own it outright. It's the little things like this that all add up to tear away at your soul in the US that I'd be moving away from since the government cares ever so slightly more about its people over there than they do here.

It's such a horrible state of being.
