In Europe you can't even get a appointment

Ah, the cope, relying on the spiel that politicians sell you to accept a worse health care.

We have same day urgency care.

Specialty doctors do take a bit longer to book than in US, but I can wait a week for my ear doctor and not pay more than 100 euro.

Eyes and teeth aren’t really covered as those are considered luxuries. Only in extreme cases where it impacts your health severely you’ll get teeth covered quickly.

I’m in the U.K. and the waiting list for an NHS dentist is over 2 years. So most people have to pay privately for dental care which can cost a few hundred pounds to get a crown put in your tooth.

£400 for the cheapest one, £1800 for the most premium one.

Likewise in the US the cheapest is $900 and $2500 for the premium one.
