What the article probably doesn't tell you is that profit is being prioritized over health all over Europe right now. Yes we have health insurance, but the quality of the medical care is getting less and less every year. And it's for the same reason why stock prices of US based health insurance companies skyrocketed the day Obamacare was announced (I am not messing around with you, this is a fact and you can check it for yourself): Insurance companies and medical orgs are no longer that interested in the best medical care for a person. What they do care about is the money they can milk out of said person. This already has gone absolutely off the deep end in the United States where some simple medicine with a production price of $30 can go for $1000, but Europe isn't far behind. Because like I said: we here are paying more and more every year for lesser and lesser quality healthcare. I've experienced this for myself in a Neurosurgery ward which was staffed with 3 nurses for just about 24 beds -- all people who need a lot of attention. I was baffled that the place could function like that because IMHO it was way too understaffed (Even the actual reason they gave was "downsizing", and yes there were patients literally shitting and peeing in their beds because of it). TL;DR: Don't believe "Europe is better" because it's Europe. We have our own issues around here. And we are slowly heading towards the same healthcare model, and for the same reasons, as the United States.
