have i mentioned how i love being in a country with proper health care? I love it. I was ridiculously excited before we came, and remain so, that I get to pay into this system, where everybody can see a doctor when they need to and the prices of prescriptions are so low. LOVE IT. We have had nothing but positive experiences in the universal-health-care model, the government-provided, the socialist, the single-payer gorgeousness. If we were in the States, working, we'd have perfectly acceptable health care, for us, being solidly in the middle class (if not better, depending on your definitions) of wage-earning; the cost to us would be roughly equivalent, with all the copays you have to pay in the US being probably about the same in the end as the higher tax rate here; but there, it would be stinky and exclusive and mean and nasty and profit-oriented-bastardy. Whereas here we get, for pretty much the same price, decent health care for us, and also decent health care for everybody else, and it is awesome.

I am a little bit smug about it. Sorry.
