point78··on An American served a year in prison for copyright conduct that is legal in EU
Wrong on so many levels. Give an example of one city where healthcare is completely free or public transportation is 5 stars (train, bus, subway function and are free to ride) or a city with universal basic income or a city where higher education is 100% free.
point78··on An American served a year in prison for copyright conduct that is legal in EU
By that method of thinking only the rich are free.

Everyone in poverty who do not have enough money to pay for healthcare or have any type of social services or pay for education .. ..theyre free to do what then?

Eu has more "freedom" in that everyone has access to these things.

point78··on The US is the most expensive nation in which to have a baby

point78··on United States Expatriation at an All-Time High
>US is also really fun for girls/partying if you have money

You have got to be visiting the wrong countries (North Korea?)

point78··on Reverse Culture Shock
But at what price are you paying for these things in the US? A quick google search says in the thousands.

With free health care here I would imagine when you do get prescribed, the price is next to nothing. Even though you are jumping through more hoops here, in my opinion it's better to make it affordable than the insane prices the US has and easier.
