You people complain so much...it's annoying. Don't compare yourself to the Europeans because each country there has a different system but there are smaller countries where people work their *** off and they are disconsidered, underpaid and humiliated. There are countries where you can't find jobs and people who have finished one college are hired for a totally, unrelated job. So when they do see free ****.. they are happy because all the money that is paid within the taxes, goes to authorities and in some rich politician's pockets.
I don't get why you guys are complaining when you do have by all standards a decent country that actually gives a rat's *** about you. In some of the smaller countries, the meds for cancer are switched and they give no shot to their sick pacients. Oh, let's not forget how lack of culture is promoted and cruelty but yeah.
Again, i don't see why some of you are complaining about working their ***es of and the free **** that comes out of it when clearly there are other countries who have it worse. Actually do complain but don't make it your life's frustration because.... you don't know what a corupt system that gives 0 ****s about it's country.

^ No. Just no.
And why my spouse can't go to a doctor to get treated for a chronic illness that he's had for years anymore. He's been in pain every ****ing day and we can't do **** about it. The ACA ****ed some to save some, but hey, it raised our insurance premiums so you can get your treatment.
But its okay, at this rate, we'll drop down in the income bracket to get free **** from the government someday if he doesn't die by then.
It's almost as if you get punished for trying to be independant nowadays. And I do apologize if I came off hard in this whole discussion, but it's a topic that really hits home with me, because I am in a pretty dire pinch in my situation and this whole healthcare reform royally ****ed us over.

I mean, sans-ACA, my mom would have no way to pay for 8k worth of Leukemia medication every month without getting a divorce, living alone, and hoping she could get medicaid. Or just die from a completely curable chronic disease.

Without insurance, my mom probably would have died within a year or two because she was diagnosed with several hundred times the normal number of white blood cells in her blood and a spleen the size of a basketball (because it was doing its job and removing as many of the extra white blood cells as possible). It was terrifying when she was diagnosed because they easily could have denied her insurance purely because she had Leukemia (this was 2011), but they didn't because she didn't actually know she was ill with a chronic disease when she was diagnosed.
I'm really sorry about your spouse, really I am. I'm personally lucky because I am 100% alone with Nick halfway across the world from me and, it so happened, that I made next to nothing last year. I'm covered under ND's expanded medicaid, but if I was still in SD I'd be uninsured (they opted out of expanding medicaid) and still living with untreated PCOS and, very likely, endometriosis (they wanted to try putting me on birth control before testing for that, which is causing loads of side effects and only helping some of the issues it was supposed to).
I'm really hoping I don't have endometriosis though, since the only known "cure" is having your uterus removed.
EDIT: That totally wasn't sarcastic, I just realized how mean it sounded
