I very much agree with you. I am American, but I lived in Switzerland, Germany and the Czech Republic and if I had a chance to to live in any country in Europe, I'd hop on the next plane without hesistation. The safety net that most western european citizens get is unparrallel and it's a life I find to be less stressful because of it. I never understood why America couldn't adopt some of the policies especially when it comes to education and health care. People get the wrong idea that they have to go through their systems, their private schools and hospitals there like anywhere in America that you can chose to pay for it yourself if you want. But why when those school systems and heath care systems are some of the best in the world?
