And not some shady USSR style hospitals. Top notch equipment with a posibility to be sent to a more modern foreign facility if need arises.
I own a car, a few hectares of forest, study at the nautical college, university of Ljubljana and my total debt is ZERO. The only interest I see is the positive flow to my bank account.
My government is not syping on me, I'm allowed to protest in front of the parliament, presidential palace or even a cop without even getting a warning to stop.
So, not only my far left marxist goverment is giving me all the liberties you have, I also enjoy a liberty from worries how will I pay for my treatment and from worries how will I pay for my study.
So don't feel for my country. I feel for yours

What outrageous amount of taxes do you pay? Nothing is "free" my friend , someone is paying for it. What individual freedoms are you guaranteed?
Guess what? The MAJORITY of people in the US, get to see a top notch doctor as well.There is an uninsured minority in this country, it's life.Guess what I am right now, one of them since I am finishing up my education, not working and can no longer be on my parents but is okay.I went to the Doctor not long ago for a cold that would not go away, only cost me $70, my medicine was only $20, did not mind at all.I went to college with NO help from the government and that is fine with me.I had to take loans out for law school, to pay for some of it anyways, parents could not handle it all but that is fine.Yes, student debt is common, part of it.Nothing is free as said, so your education is not free, just someone else is picking up the tab.Remember, what the government gives you, the government can take away.Our country is finding that out.Our federal government was supposed to be relatively inconsequential under the constitution unless we were at war but since so many people now depend on the government for employment or welfare, it actually hurts when it shuts down.That is just tragic, extremely tragic.
Also, your country has what 2 million people? The US has over 310 million people and rising(unfortunately), a lot more people.Our taxes are already outrageous but the vast majority of people have health insurance via private and government programs, vast majority live comfortably.Even our poor life relatively comfortable.
The spying thing is horrible but is the end result of dangerous collective thinking that has seeped its way into our population and government over the years but it is not the US government alone.I bet your government spies, you just are not aware of it.
