American wanting to move to Poland from USA - how hard is it?

It's a miracle anyway... considering what they eat.

Exactly not. Only 77. Ha!!!

You are a noble exception. We are so lucky to have you here. Ha!! Thank you for everything.


Yes, for example they eat the so called "Polish" hot dog which has never lain next to original Polish sausage. They should call it Russian hot dog to please that Golden Cow Trump.

No, azzhole...

77 includes acts of violence, car accidents, childhood diseases and everything else.

85 if you reach 70. Then the US is as any other country in the top 10.

Darling, we don`t care what you include into your daydreaming. 77 is 77. Simple. Like 44 is 44. Ha!!!

You can't count like that. Many men die before they reach 70.

...most if they do stupid things ...

In fact, people who drink, smoke, and do other stupid things like that are doing the rest of us a favor when they die earlier.

SK has the longest life span and the highest suicide rate ...equal to Russia's and Lithuania's ...Duh! Now what?

But that is not your slimy point.

Your slimy point is that the US as a country is worse that some shltholes in Europe.

To quote JR and God: We all have free will to be stupid.


Novi would comment: That's the best you deserve.

Summary for this unusually long post, please. 1 sentence max.

Its all your feeble mind is able to comprehend, we get it youre a bit slow in the head.

In my slow country life which sometimes assumes sudden accelaration, I don`t have time to read all bs by confirmed mentals. Who pays me for that??? Nobody.
So, Pimpek, either you provide a summary or look for naive readers of your biggerish (sic!) somewhere else.

Few things give me more pleasure than the suffering of stupid Euros who decided to fvck up their economies to show how united they are on that High Moral Ground.

My gas is $2.90 per gallon.

How much is yours, azzholes?

How much is a working American's health insurance cost per month plus a deductible?

@Ron2

Depends on the plan an employee has.

I pay a monthly premium of about $650 a month to insure my entire family. I have a copay of $25-35 per doctor visit. A hospital stay would cost $100 a day-but that is capped (don't remember the number). ER visits are higher at $300 per visit.

The amount I pay in premiums I can use as a deduction to lower my taxable income, which saves me about $1200-1500 in income tax a year.

When it's all said and done healthcare costs are usually around 4-5% on my income, when factoring in tax savings. I have friends who pay 10% of income in health and some as little as 3%. So it's all over the place.

When I was considering moving to Poland, I looked this info up and I was shocked that my calculations were showing I'd pay more of % of income on healthcare in Poland than US. I genuinely thought it would be cheaper in Poland, because it isn't cheap here.

Here in Poland it's 9% of your monthly salary.


Free here.


All free here.

And what about the costs of drugs you might need?

Any deductible? How about the self employed (about 16 millions in the US now)?

£70 for a little baggie in England now.

@Lazarus

Depends on the drug and the plan. We had to get antibiotic couple months ago, cost us $4. Then there's something my wife gets for her eyes that costs $200 for a 10-week supply. Then you hear about folks who pay ridiculous prices for certain drugs.

That's to copay.

From my experience, where it is legit much cheaper in Poland (don't know about rest of Europe) than US is dentistry. What I paid out of pocket for a couple fillings in Poland to compare with what I'd pay in US is no contest-at least that's how it was 20 years ago.

I paid 650 for a COVID drug, took two servings, felt pain in my kidneys, googled it, and found out the damn thing can destroy them...So I stopped immediately...

That whole covid med thing is the definition of cronie capitalism.

I recently needed some work done and so went to a private clinic close to home... three visits ended up being less than 1400 zls total. I decided to compare to the US and looked up dental clinics and they don't even mention prices anywhere...

😀. Because if they published those prices they'd get no foot traffic. It's like shopping for car and the ad says "call for a test drive" in the price field.

23 years ago and the dentist was my to-be-wife's family friend, but I paid 200 zl for two fillings.

I paid a bit less (mumble mumble) years ago for a root canal. Supposedly in the US at that time the price was in the hundreds of dollars...

@mafketis

😳. Whoa that's cheap. Root canal would cost me $300-500 out of pocket...and that's with me splitting cost with insurance.

In the Czech Republic I pay $2.90 for 2 liters of E10 gasoline.

How about $2000 for a root canal job in the US by a good dentist. In the US, not all dentists will do a root canal - some will send you to a "root canal specialist" and then count on paying $500-$1000 extra because the "specialist" will only fix the canal, and the dentist will do a filling.

The same in Germany is included in the price of insurance.

Dental insurance in the US? It is a joke. It will only cover semi-annual cleaning and an X-ray, but other than that - it may cover maybe 20%. I suspect Novi traveled to Poland for 3 days to get his teeth fixed at a fraction of the cost he would have paid in the US..

One reason, Alien, why there remains far more uniform quality of work among medical practitioners in Germany than in the States.

Here, dentists and others actually believe some citizens are entitled to the best services, while others are not

This problem also exists in Germany, although here so-called private patients are often burdened with additional unnecessary tests just to make the final bill higher.
