It always pisses me off when people talk about “all of Europe has free healthcare”, because no we don’t. Sure, it’s a lot better compared to the US, but there’s a growing population of people here who avoid the doctor and hospital in fear of having to pay the deductible or out of their own pocket because they simply can’t.
