  You do realized you still pay for your healthcare via taxes in those nations right?

    Sure, although they pay far less and have better outcomes.

      I live in the US and pay less than a lot of European nations so that’s not true.

  It’s getting paid from somewhere, by someone. Doctors aren’t just suddenly free because they have universal healthcare.

    I didn’t say they would be. But to pretend American healthcare makes sense is beyond absurd. Workers are already taxed to fund Medicare/-aid (which we can’t access), then we’re also expected to pay private insurance premiums. The best part is that’s de minimis! All that gets you is a pass to get in the door.

    Then you have to pay co-pays and coinsurance, and possibly your deductible. We pay SIGNIFICANTLY more than our peers in the wider world for no reason other than greed.
