ORIGINAL: MrBukani Several European nations, where universal health care has been the norm for decades, have been waging their own intense debates as they also deal with aging populations and rising costs. Britain passed a new health care measure earlier this month, after more than a year of rancorous debate. Can the European experience cast some light on the American debate over health care? http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2012/03/28/149564583/like-the-u-s-europe-wrestles-with-health-care Laughable.......your link is 16 months out of date. That shows just how much of it you have actually read. If you have an emergency you can walk into any EU hospital and get free treatment. Care to show me otherwise. Whilst I don't think the link is out of date (I know older links in other topics which are still very valid) I question it's content... Cause quite frankly, that: "In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel's center-right coalition faced a slump in popularity during the fight that ended with the passage of health care changes in November 2010." doesn't provide much information really, does it??? Even less so when last year our privately paid €10 per quarter of the year (which you had to pay IF you go to the doc, otherwise not) got scrapped to the first of january this year cause it was not considered to be necessary anymore once it was discovered how many millions the healthcare insurers got aside due to that fee...so hardly something "bad" for us that we don't have to pay that fee anymore...
