Why workers at McDonald’s in Denmark pity us

Starting pay is about $22 an hour once various allowances are considered, plus six weeks paid vacation a year, life insurance, a year’s paid maternity leave and a pension plan. What’s more remarkable: Those workers are all still employed and on full pay, because of a government plan to keep people employed. Denmark managed the pandemic quite well, with much more testing and fewer deaths per capita than the United States, and it is now starting up the economy again, with unemployment estimated at 4 to 5 percent, one-fifth the level of the United States. Reporting from Denmark has framed my views about how we should rebuild the United States after the pandemic to create a more productive, fair and competitive country.

It seems wildly irresponsible to take away the insurance from millions of Americans in the middle of a global pandemic. Speaking of wildly irresponsible, the same goes for the 14 states that have refused to expand Medicaid. Since they can expand Medicaid essentially without cost to the states, it’s difficult to understand their refusal to do so except as gratuitous cruelty.
