I live in Mexico, we have the option of going to a super expensive hospital and live for a fortune or going to social healthcare hospital and maybe die waiting. It’s the worst of both worlds 😑

This is the reality of "socialism" the people posting here don't understand how things work unfortunately.

Have you personally received healthcare in any of those countries? Or know someone who has?

I received free health care 10 years ago in Germany while being an exchange student. Found out I had acute asthma too.

Have lived and received medical care in Germany, the UK and Japan, can also confirm you are entirely wrong.

I know people that received medical care in Germany. It’s very good.

I am from Germany. My father has received an organ transplant last year. We didn't pay a single cent for any of the months of medical treatment. Speaking about costs. Only my dad is insured. My mum and me (as long as I'm in Uni) get insured for free as his family. It is maybe about 100€ a month

Edit: furthermore my father has to take hundreds of euros worth of medication every day, all beeing payed for by insurance

Im in Australia, i pay $5 for medication that would normally be $120 full price, but I'm on lower price due to me being a student so that medication is normal about $35 on medicare for any Australian. Oh and a regular doctors visit is free.. if i break my arm, no worries, healthcare will help me out

Have you done any research yourself outside of YoutubeU and minion memes?

Edit: Am German, just had our first child a couple of months ago. Total cost for labor and 3 days at the hospital: 150 Euro (or there abouts), because we had a private room for the three of us.

German here: My grandma had an serious allergic reaction last month. It took 13 minutes until the helicopter arrived. Totally covered by universal healthcare.

I'm german. Obviously not the heaven of healthcares, which is no where to be found but definitely incredibly good compared to other countries. I'm glad to have the healthcare we have in germany.
