So glad I live in Europe, here everyone is taken care of, for stiches I think that 10 bucks would be on the expensive side, 4 years ago I had knee surgery, I paid 80€ & most of that was the food! Same for education, 1 year in college is about 300/400€ depending on the cursus & the college. I really am not a fan of the American way: the land of oportunity as long as you are rich & healthy, the social ladder is missing a few steps over there...

It's taken care of because you're paying for it in another way.  >_>

Everyone pays their share in taxes, which is a much more equitable burden since a 1% can far more easily afford to lose a million dollars than a bottom 10% can afford to lose $50.


I mean... you do realize that Europe has more regressive taxes then the US by like... a lot right.

The Rich pay more in taxes in Europe then the US.... but everyone else pays a WHOLE lot more then the US does.

The only way to actually pay for more "soclialist" programs like universal healthcare is to tax the hell out of the poor to the point of tax regressiveness.
