Every nation in the EU has their own healthcare system.

I live in the Netherlands. I pay more than 150 euros per month out of my own pocket for health insurance (it's mandatory to have one and they are in this price range), and even though I pay that much per month, I still have to pay the first 385 euros out of my own pocket if I go to the doctor for anything.

I fucking wish that healthcare was socialized.

And do you know what I get for this price. Access to a private GP that will at most give you some ibuprofen before they send you home.

The EU doesn’t own a healthcare system. Member states do and they all work differently. Get educated.

Take a step back and read more, you're all over this thread, embarrassing yourself.

"Socialized healthcare" is not "socialist healthcare", in fact a fundamentally capitalist society would benefit from socialized healthcare simply because the state subsidizing the health of workers benefits the owning class...

Healthcare is a matter for individual countries in Europe and its organisation varies a lot.

For instance, in the UK the NHS is indeed in essence a socialist construct. But in France GPs are all private practices and the system is essentially a mandatory insurance.
