Yeah, this is the problem. Go to any EU country and you'll find that the public health system is most likely severely underfunded. You've got wait times, you have healthcare centers that go through doctors and nurses like McDonalds go through teenagers (so you can never have real continuity in your healthcare in the public system, other than by chance). More and more people here realize that if you want quality care you're gonna have to pay extra.
Which is of course absurd if you're any kind of wagie (working class or middle class) since they effectively take at least 50% of your salary, 60-70% if you're a high income earner. The only way to avoid getting taxed like this is if you have your own business (and only in some EU countries).

It's not something I think it's something I know.
Because landing a job on public healthcare is infinitely harder than it is to get a job in private.
If private paid more there would be zero incentive for anyone to go to public. It's simple mathematics.

Correct. You think that everyone that gets a diploma gets a spot?

Wait. You actually believe it. LOL

Feel free to form a rebuttal to the post. You literally can't because it's an objective numerical fact that if everyone moved to private healthcare because it pays more then public healthcare would be nonexistant.

It pays more because it costs more. Not everyone can afford to pay the increased costs that come with private healthcare and job opportunities are limited due to this.

I’m not sure where Europeans get the idea that Americans don’t get paid vacation time. 2 weeks is the minimum in any career that requires an education. Government workers get 2+ weeks plus an extra like 12 days of national holidays. Even our factory workers often get at least 1 week. Hell I got a couple days a year as a shift manager at a Pizza Hut in highschool.

You don’t understand what the word or financial instrument of insurance means. Even if you’re a billionaire in the USA to insure yourself at a level where you are never ever denied treatment and you only pay at the most 0.01% of cost would cost an incredible amount of money possibly in the 5 digits per month. I’ve seen what it would cost a policy for 100% coverage with cobra so he’s not wrong entirely but it wouldn’t be seven digits.

Europoors are denied treatment all the time. To have treatment options equal to (or more likely better than) that of a European costs me $800/year. I’m sure there exists coverage that covers literally everything would be far more expensive, but it’s disingenuous to pretend this is what Europeans have.
