77 sats \ 2 replies \ @Catcher 13 Jun \ on: Which Countries Have Universal Health Coverage ? earth
This Universal Healthcare is always VERY misleading, especially for people from the US - they often think that we get it for free here in Europe, but no - I pay 15.8% from my salary to get "free" healthcare and it's a shitty one. I usually have to pay extra if I need additional check up or if I don't want to wait for an appointment for half a year. I think the only people who can really benefit from this - people who are not working / paying taxes, as they can still get the treatment. But for plebs it's bloody expensive.

So according to the WHO's definition, the map should be 100% white since there is always "financial difficulty". Hiding it in high taxes doesn't change that.

Exactly, there is no such thing as free lunch, somebody always pays.
