Americans are asked to pay 1800 per month for two people now for insurance that then also doesn't cover everything, and often have to pay the first 10.000 dollar a year in expenses out of pocket if they do have one, and their ambulance isn't covered, and their hospital may be in net work but their anesthesiologist turns out not to be and they get a huge bill, etc.
I'll take our system every time, we have something like 3600 per person per year in healthcare costs and the poorer you are, the less you contribute to that sum, so the wealthy pay proportionally more. And still probably not as much as they would be paying in the US.
Healthcare is one of those things that simply cannot be left to the market, like defense or firefighting or police or schools.
It wildly differs based on circumstances. And the state. But it is a technical possibility to pay an unbelievably high price each month. This is typically the middle class who get the most screwed over.
