Also, I wanted to discuss with someone, would the EU be able to keep our health public had NATO and our defence through it wasn''t there anymore? Do you think if we had to pay for defence in a Cold War like scenario would we still be able to exercise so much of our social policies like free health care?

Yes.

Public/Universal health care/hybrid systems tend to cost less and provide better quality care for the taxpayer than systems like the USA use.

Yes. I know and I love it, we have a hybrid system here. However if we had a defence budget and the US wasn't there to back us up with their immense military spening, how would we? Can you elaborate on yes, we are very highly taxed as is.
