Oh, those silly backward europeans... -.-'
Turns out... they may be right about somethings, huh? who knew?!
Yes global healthcare is a burden to the central government.
But I think it's a burden they happily sustain as it keeps the workforce healthy and, as a result, you know... working and buying stuff, keeping the economy moving!
Instead of waiting in a hospital, dying for lack of funds to treat themselves and other nasties you capitalists have over on that side of the pond...
And when anyone wants to implement such a system over there, what do you guys do? shoot it down! -.-'
Portugal alone, with its 10 million people, spends some 8000 million euros of healthcare every year (page 107 of that pdf). An average of 800€ per person... to get some 1000€ back... I'd say it's a sound investment.
