The health care in France is rated as #1 in the world. The Netherlands is #2. The USA is #37…behind Costa Rica. I’d gladly pay higher taxes for a better quality of life. At least you can see where your money is going.

@ravenhairedmaid – Then stop watching Fox, troll.

There is a REASON so many EU countries are ranked in the top 5, year after year, for the best overall quality of life, education, health care….

Yeah, I like reading headlines about people dying in hospital waiting rooms (once they get to a hospital that hasn’t been closed in order to cut costs), directives to turn sheets over instead of washing them between patients to cut costs, ceasing the dispensation of life-lengthening medications to terminal cancer patients to cut costs, the medical community debating whether to treat the sickly & the elderly to cut costs, toddlers doing without surgeries due to bed shortages, people doing their own dental work, babies being left to die because they were two days short of the national standard to receive medical care, random doctors pulling the plug on comatose patients because neither citizens nor their loved ones get to make that decision. Probably to cut costs.

Sure, how can anyone possibly object to such a wonderful system of compassion and care?

I agree with Limey. The Taxes in EU countries are high. I live in Denmark and It’s not on the list for some reason but we also have high taxes and I’m glad that we do. The helth care, all education and unemployment benifit are included.

It’s worth paying these taxes for socialized health care, I promise you! I’ve lived in Europe and the US and I’d much rather pay more taxes and not go bankrupt over an illness!
