You lost at "European" and "everywhere in EU". The system is different between countries. For example Poland covers free annual review and basic procedures. (even if it's worse quality than on a private insurance) You're just trolling or really misinformed.
I very much disagree, that's the most basic of basics. I don't care much what's happening in low income areas and especially not how it used to be historically. And the point is what happens when an issue is discovered - it's nice that they do checkups, it's not so nice that the treatment available is again only the most basic available and anything above is very expensive and not covered even partially.
I have taken my 3 decades of personal experience - hundreds of situations - and combined it with what my family, friends and acquaintances experienced. It's really not just me. And the national news say the exact same thing - healthcare is expensive, inadequate and unavailable (you wait for months - if you find a doctor that would take you, which is definitely not guaranteed).
