Most people live in shit flats, drive a 20 year old car, and live paycheck to paycheck. Boomers have siphoned the wealth for themselves for the past 40 years, outvoted all other demographics in elections for decades, taken all manufacturing abroad, sold out national resources to foreign investors, filled our countries with third world migrants for their own gain, tried to make everyone dependant on government handouts, etc.

free at point of service. this is the obvious meaning, we all know how taxes work... im sure it works out much cheaper than what you guys pay in insurance + taxes for healthcare.
generally speaking for the UK taxes aren't especially bad. there is no income tax on the first $17000, and then only 20% between $17k and $70k. There is national insurance but again is less in tax than what you guys pay in tax + out of pocket for healthcare/insurance/social security. Income tax does get steep if you have high income and the 20% VAT hurts, but overall it's not too bad, certainly not for the average wagie. And what you get for this is excellent public transport (londonistan resident), no out of pocket healthcare costs, and cheap university with decent grants. Capital gains is not too bad here either, say you cash out 6 figures from crypto you essentially pay a flat 20%, no matter the timeframe or number of trades.

There's a huge conundrum here: First world countries have seen a huge sink in their birth rates and at the same time a huge increase in their quality of living. So many peopel associate not having children with a better life. In a way, it's kind of true from a financial point, but that's partly because young generations are getting raped in the ass with taxes and low wages that do not allow them to save money. This problem is a repeating pattern, you can also see it in China. From having an overpopulation problem to now being barely aboce replacement line. In other hand, the poorest and shittiest countries are the ones with the biggest population increase.

There isn’t as much to pay for once taxes are taken.

Net income my gf and I receive each month is £4000. I am on slightly above average wage and she is slightly below.

With that we pay:
£900 mortgage
£160 utilities
£150 council tax
£150 entertainment, phones and broadband
£300 food
£60 petrol
£300 to the pot for holidays
£200 misc/repairs
There’s about £1800 left every month

Pension plan is taken care of before net income, so are medical & dental bills. If you have children you get £60 per week plus more to help with childcare should you need it. School fees are negligible and subsidised further for things like lunches if you’re poor.

It’s not a perfect system because people can really coast by in it (and they do) but it’s manageable desu. The biggest hurdle is getting the deposit for a house while you’re still young, but this seems to be the same issue everywhere

Free healthcare is shit. Nobody who can afford private does not use public. Emergency services are full of people with psychosomatic symptoms and alcohol/drug addicts.

Some of the sparsely populated areas decided to buy the services from private sector to SAVE money. Government interrupted such actions quickly. Public health care is a scam.

all low or mid class gets taxes 45%, rich ones i dont know and probably dont care

the you see the ruling party accused of corruption and deleting their computers in daylight, but as there are no proofs, as they are destroyed they dont get convicted

Croatia, 16.5% for healthcare

Nice country, but poor. If croatia was an apt comparison for amerimutts they'd have already lost the argument. But still I highly fucking doubt you can afford even shit tier coverage on a few thousand dollars per year in the us, so you are still wrong.

16.5% is a theft and system is decreasing in quality. I'm not sure about other Euro anons but I doubt it's any better. You are insanely taxed and the service is nothing special.

You keep saying this but in the UK we pay almost half what burgers pay for healthcare all costs considered, and our service is one of the best in the world.
Croatia is poor as fuck and not comparable to high income countries, the average cost of healthcare premiums in the US for an individual is half your gdp per capita for fuck's sake, so you clearly had no idea what you're talking about earlier. I feel for you but it's not comparable.

Nobody is obsessed with these things. Why do so many Americans lack self awareness and see themselves as the default when comparing to any other country? Pretty much every country besides yours has a healthcare system like that. And the type of gun culture you guys have is a uniquely American thing.

You definitely do need a gun when your country is full of crackhead nignogs and unhinged trailer hicks who also have guns and are ready to throw their life away over nothing. But I'd rather live in a place where I can step out my front door and not expect to get into a firefight today.
