  • Right. For perspective, I once paid $200 for a single Xray (needed 3, total $600, not counting the doctors bill). And that’s with health insurance.

    If you have to go to urgent care, expect to pay close to $1000 for simple needs, much higher than that for more complex needs. An ambulance ride can cost upwards of $5000, and an airlift is several times that.

    So better not be too much into sports, or trauma will drain your bank account.

    Then you add the complete absence of consumers rights and little to no oversight on industrial activity. Lead and PFA poisoned water, food additives that are banned in most of the developed world, sugar in everything,… It’s near impossible not to get sick here.













  • That is already assured by the Common Agricultural Policy of the EU. Those are non tax based barriers to agricultural goods trade.

    It’s the reason selling eggs to Europe is so hard, for instance. Eggs need to be traced to individual chickens, and the veterinarian records of the animal must be filed as well. These requirements are for international trade, benefiting local producers that don’t need to adhere to such stringent rules.

    EU has restrictions on products resulting from slave or slave analog labor, deforestation, etc.

    I’m not a legal expert by no means, but this seems to me just being afraid of fair competition.
