What are you comparing it against?

Yes the healthcare system here is slow in certain cases, but you are able to leave without carrying a medical debt with you.

Immigration system here is a lot more structured and transparent compared to a lot of 1st world countries,

I agree with EY 1, immigration system is much better/ structured than US.
Medical system is covered by government, systems in US and Canada have their quirks, in US rationing is based on cost and in Canada rationing is based on time.

Yes it’s pretty bad out here at the moment for both of these.

I am not sure what the context of OP is.Immigration structure is better than US which has become a huge point of discussion as in the current economic situation it is doing more harm than good. Healthcare is free but not very accessible. I say this from personal experience.

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

Why do 403b have such I fees? I almost want to stop contributing all together or just minimum 6% to meet the match. Possibly just rely on the pension but what if it’s underfunded when I retire?
