European countries also have government healthcare for everyone. Besides Poland and a few small countries Europe government pays for abortion. Europe has incredible public transportation unlike the US.

And you think that tipping is our biggest societal issue?

Lol, I guess we can never discuss anything at all because we don’t have free healthcare!

+1 I'm all for socialized healthcare, but let's not circle the drain on everything else while we wait for it indefinitely.

Try it before you want it. We have military insurance. I wait months for basic appointments like a physical or even to the doctor on a routine issue. They refuse bloodwork regularly and just say stay on medication regardless of if you need it or not. We regularly get denied specialist appointments or sent off base to the worst doctors, often an hour or two away and no good doctor take tricare. And, we cannot get same day refills at the military base and have to wait up to a week for refills and then if they don't have it in stock, to bad and you have to go without or wait weeks for a doctor appointment to get a new prescription written. MRI can take months to schedule. Need to be seen now, go to the ER or tuff luck. It's near impossible to see your doctor within a few weeks. And, the doctors change regularly so there is no consistency in care.

I have waited a couple months for an MRI and surgery with private insurance. Whenever we talk about wait times in Europe, we forget we have the same problem here. I need a pap and need to schedule with a new doc. I had to wait over two months for the first available.
