Everyone here knows the answer; it's barely worth an entire article.
In the USA there is a poorer segment of society that has much worse healthcare than the equivalent in European countries.
This is because they do not have the good health insurance policies that are needed to have good healthcare; even with insurance they can't afford the deductibles. This is largely because richer Americans get their good health insurance from their good jobs. It is also because poorer people's lives are more chaotic because life is harder.
In Europe those people's lives are similarly chaotic due to the struggle of living on low income in a low income area, but they have access to good free healthcare in many countries, and fairer insurance schemes in others.
