Not for someone from the US there isn't.
- dagw 15y agoBased on what I've heard about US healthcare from people I know, it holds a much higher quality than European healthcare for those who can afford the best insurance. European healthcare fluctuates between bad and adequate, US healthcare fluctuates between terrible and excellent. Neither solution should be immune to criticism.
- mixmastamyk 15y agoCorrect, they aren't. The level of discourse I was thinking of was the "it's socialism!" type. And it's always great to be rich, no doubt about that.
- danssig 15y agoSteve Jobs had over 6 billion dollars. When he got sick he went to Switzerland for care. US health care is not "much higher quality" than Europe regardless of income. That's a Fox News myth. Like anything, it's not black-and-white. US health care has some things that are very good, but for most everything they are no better (and often worse) than any other first world country. What we can say is that they're much more expensive than anyone else.
