There are many cases where you are left on the side of the road in Europe too.
It's certainly better than in the US, but far from free for everyone.
- jacquesm 7y agoI don't know of a single case of someone going bankrupt here due to medical bils. Feel free to supply examples to the contrary, I'm quite interested in that.
- neilsense 7y agoIt can vary country by country, as you'd imagine it would seeing as Europe is a large place, but it's so such a crazy notion to say that you'll most likely find some care in Europe if you're unwell and poor - definitely more so than in the US.
- davidw 7y agoMaybe it's that I lived in Italy for like 15 years? I realize that 'Europe' is broader and there are diverse systems, but by and large - and especially where there is a huge public interest in people healthy - their systems are going to take care of people.
