Which is why so many jobs disappeared from the US. Someone has to pay and in the end it comes out of wages and into the price of the goods.

I pay nothing and go to the hospital for check ups once every 2 months. I'm retired and after a lifetime of paying for health it's now free. My cure for cancer was also done on the CZ National Health scheme.

IMO we pay too little for medical insurance here and facilities are basic unless you're in grave danger. Like Eva and I were.
