They did. The right came for them after decades of just lying about their high suicide rates (same as US). Patiently doing the same to them as to everyone else: anything government that works well has to be stripped of resources (high taxes you know), then blamed for not working. Then privatized.
Most Americans never leave the United States. Those that do usually do on vacations - cruises, all-inclusive resorts, guided tours - and never really experience everyday life anywhere else.
Well, good for you if you're trying to learn it. My late mother-in-law was Finnish and my son was born there and did college there but found it too difficult to learn.
