There's plenty of cultural differences I accept about Europe, you can manage to accept this one about the US.
It's stupidity, not cultural difference, when one side talks about free and the other side who has that "free" health care feels it's a massive (but good) burden.
I'm absolutely for this system, as a Swiss citizen I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved, but man it's hard...really hard, and it's only going to get worse because of the age shift.
