Total disagree. See my comment up above (1). Health care is horrible in the EU. At least in America you can choose to go bankrupt in exchange for quality health care treatment. In the EU, if you ever even get Doctor time, it's always rushed, and very often misdiagnosed. This is coming from an American living in Germany.

This sentence is... wow. "At least in America you can choose to go bankrupt in exchange for quality health care treatment." I'm so glad the founding fathers protected my right to bankrupt myself at the hands of an incredibly profitable healthcare industry. Stupid Euros don't know what they're missing.

  Yeah, but at least you can get quality health care in America. That hardly exists in Europe. Free "health" care to shit doesn't do much good. I have hard to seeing why you think you're worthy of incurring unending health cares expenses on a human health care system that by nature is not unending. If we are human and therefore our system can only by provide limited health care, then consequently you either go bankrupt at some point or you don't get health care. America chooses the former, EU chooses the latter.

And yet European health outcomes are significantly better than American ones across the board. So what’s missing? And if you think America doctors are not rushed and often misdiagnose stuff then you’ve probably not been to an American medical facility in quite some time.

Oh, trust me, I'm sure they are, but it's even worse in Europe. > And yet European health outcomes are significantly better than American ones across the board. What on earth are you basing this off of?
