This might have had some persuasive power back in the 1950s when there still was an American dream for certain workers. But today giving up healthcare in return for the opportunity to enjoy the marvels of the American labour market would be batshit insane.
Things are going to be shittier in Europe due to American exploitation, including the welfare state, but that doesn't mean they're not going to be any better in Burgerland.
And, more importantly, the people's of Canada, Panada and Greenland do not want to be Americans. They know that it would make things worse for them.
