So if Kevin is in Denmark, he can quit his job (thus no income) and get 
$500/month to go to school, and he pays no tuition? Right? Plus, if he gets 
sick, he can go to the hospital and get it taken care without paying, 
correct?

But if he quits his job here in the USA, he is out tuition (approx. 20K 
average for a state school in the USA), plus his living expenses (say 
$500/month for 48 months == $24K).

And of course he has to pay for medical insurance on top of that, or else 
just one day in the hospital will break him.

Total of $40K or so for America, and approximately $0 in Denmark.

Aint America a great country!?
