US you get comparatively low cost food and housing, but you have to pay for medical care.

You win some you lose some.

Also, in the US you have to eat US food.

yeah in europe you eat a bit less food. in the us you just alternate taking your daily medications and skip the occasional surgery. its all kinda the same.

Food sure, but low cost housing? Maybe a long time ago, but certainly not now.

Depends on where in Europe. Dutch housing is comparatively affordable, British? Irish? It's worse then the US.

In general, Europeans have it worse for housing than the average American.
