In Reply to: Europe's been paying these prices much longer than us - That's why they drive mini cars. NM
also has an extensive mass transport system - trains, busses, plains, etc., - they don't use personal vehicles like we do. Our country was designed, especially the suburbs and "bedroom communities" for people to live in one area and drive to the place where they work.

healthcare in europe
I forgot to mention that I have done some research on healthcare in Poland and don't come up with much, other than one must have proof of insurance upon entrance into the country. My doctors also don't know anything about healthcare in Poland when I ask them.
Healthcare in Europe
I lived in England until the age of 25. This is how it works there (don't know if Poland runs their healthcare the same way but likely).
Everyone pays for their healthcare at no cost ever via their taxes. Everyone has a National Health insurance ID number. Every form of healthcare is free, including medical, dental and podiatry. If you want private healthcare, you can purchase it. This system works if you don't mind paying higher taxes. It is six of one and half a dozen of the other.
If your medical problem needs urgent attention, then it will be taken care of; if not, then you wait. The doctor, of course, determines your needs.
Hope this info helps!
