Being a European, I'm fascinated by the crazy healthcare and I love reading these US healthcare topics. You really captured the gist of the conversation :)

- arlcode 5y agoHey me too. I know it's real people suffering and because of personal relationships with US citizens I feel for them. Yet it's a fascinating lesson in how complex social problems can be acknowledged by pretty much everyone while at the same no-one is able to implement a workable solution. PS: I'm glad there will always be someone who reminds me that here in central Europe I can not choose my doctor, have to wait months for an appointment and that we don't have health insurance here because it's covered by taxes. Since that's not how it works at all I always forget ;) PPS: Obviously it's not all sunshine and roses here either and we have our fair share of problems but large unexpected bills for scheduled or emergency procedures just don't happen frequently enough to matter in the grand scheme of things.
