It is same like healtcare. In the US you can access higher quality education and healthcare if you can afford it. In the EU it is a bit lower quality but available on a much lower price for the general public.

Education: 2,000 EUR/year vs. 20,000 - 30,000 USD/year (this goes up to 60,000 USD/year in case of Stanford, Harvard, etc.)

I cannot find enything that would make an easy comparison possible on healthcare.
