Well, life expectancy is way higher in Europe compared to 'Murrica.

Do you think their food may have something to do?

Europe tends to subsidize fresh produce and small to mid size artisanal producers, flooding their markets with a wide variety of high quality food. America does the same but for Dow, ADM, and Cargill, flooding world markets with GMO soy beans and high fructose corn syrup.

Also, Europe subsidizes preventive care - shots, screening, checkups, birth control. America considers that "entitlememes for obamaphone welfare queens" so those same welfare queens just go to the ER when their untreated sniffles become full blown aerial super gonnorhea AIDS. Then they walk out and taxpayers foot the bill anyway. Or they just hang out in front of starbucks coughing on everyone because conservatives think vaccines and not incest caused their child to be born with a malfunctioning brain. So a €25 "investment" saves the people €25.000 in acute care costs. Here in USA #1 we would rather simply wait until it's an emergency because the basic features of a developed modern economy are considered to be a USSR soviet plot to trick people into not being John Galt. Downvote if you agree.

Do more research on US healthcare policies and you'll find that the entire field is heavily sibsidized, especially the four you mentioned. All of those are offered and provided for free or extremely reduced cost for those without insurance and/or those dealing with poverty. Not to mention that the US subsidizes and pays for the lions share of rx drug and treatment development as well as pharma R&D that the rest of the world is entitled to without really contributing. Don't listen to Michael Moore on the topic of US healthcare (for obvious reasons) or any of those characters. They make their money peddling medical fear to the masses. The US system is indeed overly beauticratic and somewhat chaotic but no one can be turned away from a hospital due to finances and hospitals cannot make you homeless for not paying your bills.

You're a liar. The ER must stabilize an individual regardless of ability to pay, but that's it. They do not treat the underlying disease. You will not be treated for medical conditions w/o first paying a deposit and if you cannot pay the bills you will be forced into bankruptcy and many states permit your house to be sold off to cover the debt. They do offer discounts for self pay, but even then it can quickly mount into 5 -6 digits, out of reach for almost everyone. If your nonsense were true, literally no one would buy insurance. Not to worry, single payer, if not the superior socialized model of most of the 1st world, is coming and it can't come soon enough. Perhaps then our 37th ranked medical system in the world will catch up with the rest of the 1st world.

Ok so I think you're probably "trolling" now. In every hospital I've worked for we've not only stabilized impoverished patients but also performed treatments up to and including full liver transplants. Thats well over $1 million USD alone. Can you provide an example of the deposit you mentioned? I've only ever beard of that in the EU where I did some training post med school. Norhing like that exists in the states afaik. What I posted isnt nonsense, as you said, it's reality based on knowledge gleaned from working in the belly of the inefficent beast that is US healthcare. Why havent you addressed my points about R&D of rx drugs, surgical treatments, and various other therapies funded by the US taxpayer and provided to the world for free?

as a Frenchfag, I confirm: the crust looks soft, and the white part is probably chalky and bland
the big white cheese looks ok tho

[Anonymous No.11490026]

>>11489970
But it's not at all mainly funded by American taxpayers. There's huge European pharma companies and firms like Johnson & Johnson got a large part of their patents from buying foreign companies. Recent advances like single-domain antibodies or fucking CRISPR-cas9 were pioneered by researchers with European grants, not to mention Japs and the increasing Chinese investments

>>11489486
Ok, now you're really showing you're fos and probably just an insurance company shill or some medfag who read and fell in love with babby's first hack /pol/ philosopher, Ayn Rand. Liver transplants for indigents? There's no one stupid enough to believe that, not even your average mouthbreathing F(au)x News patron. There are hospitals like Le Bonheur and St. Jude that will treat children of indigents, but adults? No fucking way and your nonsense isn't fooling anyone. Go back to writing whimsical fantasy articles for Breitfart.
