I ' m not from the US , but we have completely free healthcare over here . We have to pay something called mandatory health insurance every month and I ' ll tell you the problems with it . Waiting lines are ridiculous , for some operations you have to wait over a year . If you don ' t want to wait this long you ' re told to seek private healthcare , so you ' re paying the tax and you don ' t get anything out of it . This yearthere was also a scandal when the police were found to be skipping waiting lines corruption in government ? ? no way . Also I ' ve been to a public doctor twice in my life , both times I were told we don ' t know what ' s wrong with you , if you want further help seek private doctors . Yeah man , really great system .
