Everyone pretending Europe doesn't exist? Most countries have most healthcare for "free" (mandatory healthcare taxes).

Eh... as someone living in western Europe, I can't say it's free. I would say that it's subsidized at most. We still have to pay a part of our healthcare, we can get a private health insurance to complete the government coverage, but it's still not enough to cover all of it.

Mental health isn't covered at all, ophtalmology barely (still gotta pay 200€ for a pair of glasses, after public + private coverage), dental only the very basic is covered...

Yup, Europe is pretty heterogeneous
