I feel like this is getting voted down because the idea is unpopular, but I didn't say I was in favor of it. It is just a statement of fact, not an advocacy of a policy.

My insurance is about € 120 / month.
How much difference would it make do you think?

For states that provide universal healthcare, they can push things like a meat tax as a way to save money on public costs (like they do with cigarettes already). At least they have some gain to show for it. However, European meat is already a lot more expensive than meat in America, meat consumption is probably less in hose countries already.
