I think you know that "public healthcare" was referring to universal healthcare in this context. US is the only western democracy without universal healthcare.
- H8crilA 7y agoYeah that's what I meant. Too late to edit comment!
- patrickaljord 7y agoSwitzerland and the Netherlands healthcare is private though people are obligated to get a plan. Works great and cheaper than here in France which is horribly expensive for anyone with a decent wage.
- mcv 7y agoThe Dutch and especially Swiss healthcare systems are actually among the most expensive in Europe. France is cheaper per capita.
- patrickaljord 7y agoYes per capita, that's why I said "for anyone with a decent wage". France has one of the highest unemployment rate in OCDE, so for all these people it is indeed cheap, in fact free. But for those actually making more than the minimum wage (and for anyone making close to a SV salary or the French equivalent), you end up paying way way more than the Dutch and the Swiss.
