I haven't made up my mind if the best solution would be exactly like in Europe, but it wouldn't bother me at all if we did have it.

A lot of people hold France up as an example but in reality what Americans don't realise is the massive amount of tax employers and employees pay and that only gets them a % of their healthcare paid for. France's healthcare is also 6 billion Euros in deficit. The UK's NHS is more free with much smaller taxes paying for it and no charge for healthcare (bar tiny charges for getting drugs dispensed), and a much smaller deficit. Whether you pay through taxes or insurance .... you pay.

A problem that isn't mentioned often, is the effect adding healthcare costs have on jobs. To put it simply, tying healcare costs to employers makes jobs disappear. We have to compete with companies across the world and they don't have to pay wages + healthcare for each employee. This is why companies keep subcontracting until our jobs are no longer in the US.

Perhaps you should moved to Europe if it is so great there? Not trying to be mean, but this is a free country. Nothing keeping you here.

If the european way is so much better than that of USA then go back there and stay this time. It would help balance the hordes of people moving from there to here.
