    Oh, if you mean taxes generally, than in Denmark, 36% of my money I never see on my account. And the healthcare is slow, and in some cases I would have to prove that I have problems, and no, painkillers and “walk more” don’t help. But if something serious will happen, yeah, I know I’m safe

      Paid healthcare isn’t better, it took me 2 days to get medicine I needed because of “referrals needed”

      In the US you have to do the same, IF you have the money and coverage to do so. Many don’t, so they don’t even get the chance to prove they need the help.

      I have money and good insurance. I want to see an endocrinologist. First I need a referral from my doctor, then I need to wait four months to get an appointment. It’s ridiculous.
