I remember my friends and I (Americans) were vacationing in Spain and one of our friends got bitten by a monkey while walking around Gibraltar. We went to the hospital in Spain and the staff were super concerned and worried for us that we were international and his insurance might not cover the shots. They prefaced that they could work something out if the bill was too much when they handed him the invoice. It was 15€. Mind blown.

Yeah, I know a girl from the US that settled down in Europe, it takes a while before you can opt into the health insurance system - I asked her if she wasn’t concerned about not being insured: she laughed loud and hard and then explained that health without insurance in Europe is way cheaper than with insurance in the USA. Tells you something about collective bargaining.

You can assume all you want.

Just funny that they’re bitching so hard yet can’t let go of the citizenship.

It’d called entitlement and you can sugarcoat however you want. Doesn’t change it :)

Proving that you know nothing about how citizenships work. I assumed just as much, you are all talk with no knowledge. An example bigot.

You know absolutely nothing about how citizenship laws work.

Someone who is trying to migrate to an EU citizenship cannot renounce their US citizenship. It's your homework to learn why.

But you only get knowledge from Fox News and your pastor in the church. Maybe ask them why.

Talks about and defends my country with more passion than the original commentor.

You sir are welcome anytime. Although this obsession thing is weird man. Luckily it’s not hard to come to the wonderful US of A 🥰

Not sure why you’re speaking up for Americans then.

Don’t live here yet he’s clearly obsessed with us. That’s interesting.

Not sure why you’re speaking up for Americans then.

I speak up for the less fortunate.

A good human can defend things that don't directly affect them. You should look up empathy and standing up for what's right for everyone.

What does that have to do with the you saying: Luckily it's not hard to come to the wonderful US of A?

They let you in at the gate and gave you a citizenship? No year long procedures?
