To be fair...no one's ever needed to say it out loud

awesome shirt though, i would totally hug this cutie

Ahahah as sad as your US reality is, this sounds like a great plan! Also Spain is quite lovely!

That's private health care in Spain. It would actually be free if you'd paid up your Social Security.

Totally free in the UK.

Free in Scandinavia as every thing else is with the exception of medicine which you may need from the chemist.

WOW!

Ok I literally calculated this stuff and if you add up the costs of the things specified in this list, you get around $30,000 cost using the cheapest options.

I offered to many Americans with serious conditions medical tourism that is offered by many countries: Bulgaria, Mexico, Philippines. High quality medical care for the fraction of the cost. No one I spoke to even consider it. You should at least research it before you dismiss that option. Especially when it is a matter of life or death. Americans deserve the American health care system price tag if they are so sure it is so great.

All this talk about "free " healthcare is complete BS! In Denmark, people pay for it via taxes... and that's 1000000 times better than the US system ! (American here , nearly 45 years in Scandinavia).

Spain taxes people to use the sun.

AH YEAH if you survive all of that. Or just have it done in America and save yourself some truly undue pain.

People actually do exactly what the meme suggests. Although you'd prob only live in spain like 4 months to vacay, prep, surgery, then recover.

Well, you don't actually get charged. That's the cost of the operation but the patient never pays since health system is free for everyone. Trust me, I'm one.

LOL I must have been overcharged..for my hip.. Mine cost over $70,000.00 Sure would have liked a few months off in Spain to recuperate..

If we didn't start wars in foreign countries, we could fund free healthcare AND house all homeless.

Socialism

S**t do that... Live life :D

Not totally true, living in Madrid is expensive. Maybe it cost you 30.000 $ a year.

but we can not have affordable health care here ! hmmmm why not?

Not true, it is free in Spain

Must not make very good wages if that's what you make in 2 years...

Theeen...why not just do that? :)

These are medical costs for those uninsured. My parents have 4 new hips between them and never did we receive a bill like this.

With Insurance, hip replacement will be 3K or so.

Now I'm curious, what is the average billl for a childbirth in a hospital in USA?

Because their constitution is outdated. The second amendment made sense when America didn't had an army to defend their country against foreign aggressors, in this case, the British. In some states it was mandatory to have gun, because there was no army...now it's a nonsense, in my opinion.

That's nice. You haven't free healthcare system, you haven't, a real and full-paid 20-30 days holiday (evey year) at work. What else?

Well, to be fair, people cook meth to pay for OTHER things, too

Imagine...

Here in Finland every citizen have health insurace because it is paid from the taxes. And because of that insurance also the poor people can afford healthcare. It is funny to see when some Finnish people complain that a prescription drug is 'too expensive' if it costs over 30 euros per month when in USA the exactly same drug is usually 3 to 10 times more expensive.

I love the T-shirts!

Completely true.

And yet Amercians make fun of Canada

Hahaha this is so dark. Love it!

Or they get no tips to add to their pathetic wages as waiter? :-/

Source of actual story?

You forgot, "you shouldn't have had children if you can't afford them!"

I'm most impressed by the fact that Germany started theirs in the middle of freakin' World War II

Come on, now! Who WOULDN'T pay 4 grand for a kiss from that cutie?

This is so sad man.

...What time is it now?

so sad that this is true... :(

Come on, now... "If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears, does it make a sound" is sooo 2016

Smart

Serious question to citizens of USA, do you really believe your nation is the greatest? And if so why? This isn't a dig or anything but most of us in the rest of the world really don't see why. I would like to understand.

Why does this not have any comments this was one of the few that actually made me lol

Dystopia is definitely the right word. It's a sick society that makes people choose between paying and dying.
