Pierre Bordage Les guerriers du silence trilogy has been one of my best scifi memories when I was a teenager . I ' m actually planning to read it again , you should definitely go for it ! <| sep |> For me , a stronger sign that it ' s about to blast off is the activeness of the community . <| sep |> European healthcare is mostly just a mandatory insurance since you pay it with your taxes in some countries like mine the concept it ' s clearly deducted from your salary , you pay more the more you earn . But while I ' m not socialist and I don ' t like the false term free healthcare it makes a lot of economic sense to socialize healthcare because almost everybody is going to eventually need it , so the argument paying for others doesn ' t really make sense since others will be also almost surely paying for you sooner or later and the more people paying the better for you . Also the economies of scale makes everything cheaper for the insurance company the state in this case . As proof , I ' ve a good salary so I pay more than most of other citizens , but it ' s still less than what more americans pay for their insurances that usually doesn ' t cover everything . It ' s really not very different that socializing national security army , police which I don ' t see most Americans having a problem with .
