in further checking I found that 98.7% of their nations population are covered by Health Care insurance-- and the last time the WHO (World Health Organization) rated nations on the quality of their health care, Spain ranked 7th... The U.S. came in 37th in that report !!
you can have quality or quantity.. seldom do you get both...
for example. if I needed stitches.. I could go to an urgent care facility..
or an emergency room and in about an hour I would be on my way..
my father-in-law fell yesterday.. and cut his arm.. he needs stitches..
he is scheduled to get them tomorrow afternoon.. three days to get stitches.. ?
at least they bandaged it up, so he wouldn't bleed to death.
free is seldom better..
