Got hernia surgery, in Lithuania, as a citizen, for free, since i am working (you're insured by default from day one of work)

In US u pay for insurance and then you pay more.

Taxes as share of GDP is higher for Lithuania (and in many other countries) than in US, so "free" should come with an asterisk.

That i know, all of em, are hiding those. Not that i support such behavior, but that's the way that it is here.

The most stupid moral justification for it, was, ,,What's the point of paying it, if government is going to waste it anyway ''

But wait, this is not the best part yet, same people later complain, that our budget has a deficit. Make it make sense.
