What happens in your country when you go the hospital and they figure out you have cancer. Does the state pay for the treatment or you go from millionaire to dead family weight overnight? :-)
Money is nice but passed a certain point, the real problems are rarely solved with more money.
- genman 3y agoEuropean countries differentiate between income tax and social tax. Health insurance is a social tax. There are other social taxes: pension tax, unemployment tax etc. Mostly these are fixed rate taxes (i.e. the tax rate is not income dependent). In some countries there is an upper bound on income that is taxed by social tax.
- msh 3y agoOnly some differentiate. In Denmark there is no separate social tax. It's all the same tax.

- msh 3y agoATP is not a social tax. Its a pension fund. Also from that page: The Danish social security system is financed primarily through ordinary tax revenue and only very limited social security contributions for employees and employers.
