- bamboozled 2y agoBut access to healthcare is what makes most of developed world much better and more civilized? It's one of the most important things you have to have in a society. I have read about people in the USA forgoing basic procedures like endoscopes because they cannot afford it. Can you believe that? I was recently in Spain, what's different is "good" food is cheaper and it's part of the culture, crap food is less acceptable. I had one of the best sandwiches and coffees of my life and at airport, an airport...at 6am. It was also cheaper than what I'd get at most US airports.
