I'm not living in the US of A, but when I see what people have to pay to get medical services I understand very well why they avoid them. When one treatment costs as much as a person earns in a year, there is something very wrong with the system.
And there's a country where you don't pay for medical services? Which one? Because I live in Europe and a lot is being taken from my salary to get the "free" service. So much, actually, that an American commercial health insurance would be cheaper.
Duh - there's no country where you don't have to pay for medical services. But there is, to my knowledge, only one country where medical care frequently bankrupts its citizens.
Until ACA (you know, that thing the GOP is working to dismantle), lifetime maximum coverages were hit all the time. One modest cancer case could bankrupt you easily.

Since the wonderful ACA insured everyone and solved the problem what are we even talking about?
