> Also, I know how unpopular this opinion is I don't think this is unpopular at all, at least here. I've even avoided some nonessential medical care in the European country I live in due to the costs, and those prices would still be lower for nearly anything (with some exceptions) compared to in the US. I think this point is just not brought up here because it's well-enough understood in this audience that it's more useful to discuss other factors that might be more neglected, such as lifestyle, etc.
