re: #564 EmmmieG

No…I was under the impression that their huge amount of state-provided care came at a high cost.

Well, their huge amount of social services in general come at a high cost of taxation, yes. For that, they have greater social mobility than exists in the US, along with a host of other benefits.

But I was addressing this comment of yours:

Maybe I spent too much time considering the differences between the Iron Curtain economies and other economies

Sweden is not an Iron Curtain economy. Neither is Israel. Neither was West Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Singapore, or Japan. And yet all of those places have had UHC for a very, very long time.

So I’m really at a loss as to what your ‘Iron Curtain’ comment has to do with anything.
