Worried about insurance for your kid? Can't happen here, the government will deal with that. Losing your job? Get paid for one or two years by your work insurance. After that you fall back to a free basic income (for as long as you need). And still this system is generally not exploited: People work hard here.
And it's not just unemployment. There are people begging for money on HN regularly, because they are dying (often of cancer) and are now worried about their families. This is just cruel and can't happen that easily on this side of the Atlantic.
But it seems US citizens want to live like that. Why?
