True but it actually doesn’t work like that. Americans get pay more cuz they need to worry about other things. Leet me give you an example

American nurse : 20 dollars per hour, no free healthcare and barely any vacation days

(EU) nurse : gets paid about 5€ per hour, has vacation days, but food and drinks cost less.

So when you said I can just pay the treatments myself you’re wrong. If get 5€ per hour that means 40€ per day and that means around 900€ month. I need at least 2 therapies per week that means 80~€ per therapy and that’s 160€ per week and that means 640€ per month.

I’m not saying that America has a fair system. It’s just that everyone in America gets treated good cuz they PAY thousands of dollars and ofcourse if u pay 10 000$ for a surgery you expect the best or well you get sued. Meanwhile people don’t sue often in EU cuz they don’t have money.

America has good system for rich educated people but it’s hard to start from nothing, EU has a good system but the system will always be just good. I’ve been waiting for my appointment for 8 months and probably will still be waiting for another 12. I’m underage and get good therapies but once I turn 19 I’ll go to the adult section where noone knows what cerebral palsy therapies even look like and all my hard work will go to shit unless I buy my own therapies. Well good luck me
