You can’t immigrate out of the US, most other countries don’t have nearly as permissive immigrarion laws as the US, especially if you’re not a refugee.
For the record, medical debt isn’t real debt. Don’t trust me, go Google around for it. Medical debt does not impact your credit score. So just don’t pay.
Now, if you want difficult, go be an oilman. They make shit tons of money, and for good reason.
Did you know that the mining industry in DRC is always looking for new employees? Could be a safe job with great benefits?
I’m sure they’ll tell you that there’s literally zero risk of a rock ceiling collapsing on your head. And what about the fumes from that odd colored pond? It’s just hydrogen cyanide. You don’t need to worry about that.
The drc doesn’t have OSHA or any equivalent. America does.
For a few more months, at least…
If there are no safety regulations, there can be no safety violations. Everyone wins!

True. That’s called emigration. Immigration is arriving.
That’s literally the opposite of reality. The US has a problem with illegal immigration because legal immigration takes years, sometimes DECADES, and costs thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.
As for refugees, the US has literally been criminalizing asylum seeking, which is a human right protected by international law that is followed by most countries, for almost a decade.
Fun fact: over half of American personal bankruptcies are at least partly due to medical debt.
Bankruptcy isn’t a magic reset button that lets you off the hook consequence-free (at least not for people with a net worth under $10m), and advising people to ignore debt is ignorantly irresponsible at best, malicious disinformation at worst.

Let me rephrase. You can’t emigrate easily.

That’s still not true, relative to emigrating TO the US.
