social services such as healthcare are enjoyed by the majority of the population (Khazan). Although Obamacare and other initiatives have expanded the social welfare net to a slightly greater degree, America does not have the level of protection that other nations do and American exceptionalism does not call this into question as problematic or view it as a deficit of the American system.

relation to job-related burnout. Those working in people-oriented professions like education, sales, and social services have an especially difficult time and costs businesses hundreds of billions each year from absenteeism, lessened productivity, and medical insurance.
