[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]or the peace of mind of having [i]free healthcare[/i] at the point of service[/quote] [b]Other countries do not have "free healthcare." Their healthcare is funded at least partially centrally through taxes[/b]. And in many/most of these countries you can opt to pay for private care. Basically, everyone has a safety net, but the wealthier can soar high above it and pay for private care.[/quote] That is something so many people do not understand. No we don't get huge hospital bills. But it isn't free, and all aspects of health are not covered. Prescriptions, physiotherapy, any of those are not covered. A friend of mine is deaf. She has to pay out of pocket for her hearing aid. Her insurance through work covers $500 every five years. Her hearing aid costs about $4000. That being said I don't know how anyone can afford to have surgery or give birth in the US.[/quote]
