The high price of groceries is the reason they have government provided healthcare. And it ain't "free". Rationed healthcare is NEVER as good as ours. I'm not saying it's not clean, everything in europe is just as professional as it is here, but there's waiting lists for certain surgeries. They wouldn't call it waiting lists..it would be "the next available" appointment for that type of surgery would be further out in the future than here.
I'd rather take our stupid defunct system than have to wait for a surgery that's 'free'.
