Also not every European healthcare system is equal. For instance, here in the UK sure if you are in an accident you'll likely get help, but if you have complex health issues you can't really count on the national health service. If not for private healthcare I am not sure if I would be alive today. So you spend a fortune in taxes on a system that you can barely make use of and then you have to spend money again on private healthcare that is actually useful. It works out being more expensive than in the US. Oh and this year I had to call for an ambulance a couple of times and each time they had no ambulances available and said it's best if I take an Uber to hospital. Then at hospital 3-5 hours of waiting, while person you are with is losing their mind out of pain and you can't do anything. It's rubbish.
