        I heard even citizens have to pay for it even when you break bone.

          Yup. And if you get sick. And if you need emergency treatment.

          If you can’t pay then they’ll “stabilize” you and kick you out.

      No it doesn’t. This is a problem with our laws, and it’s not true across the us, only in some of the less intelligent of our states.

      The reason people think our health care sucks is because it’s for profit which inevitably leads to crappy/no care for the poor. And for that reason it does suck.

      But of course, mindless bashing on the US? Upvotes, no matter how little it makes sense.

        When people compare healthcare between countries, people compare healthcare by those countries. Not by corporations in those countries. This is why I say my shithole has worst dental care on the planet. And have bad avaliability, brcause regions are still part of country. Although the worst is better than none, I guess. Terrible both by European standards and by standards of 20 years ago. Again, USSA managed to be even worse than this.

          It’s secondary to point that one states problems be applied to the whole country, although thats probably closer to using the worst of any country in the EU to paint the whole EU.

          The point is that this is relatively new, and this is not why people generally think the health care is bad in the us. We actually have great healthcare if you have money. not so much if you don’t. This is the general reason why us healthcare is looked down upon.

            Even then EU healthcare probably better than of my country.

            not so much if you don’t.

            Really. If you have money, there is no difference between countries.
