In Denmark visits to GP's, specialists and hospitals are free. Prescription drugs are subsidised on a sliding scale meaning that adults will pay a maximum of USD 640 a year for their prescriptions.

Dental care is not covered though, leading to a huge disparity in dental health between the rich and the poor.

My total income tax is around 38%. I reckon that to be less than what burgerlanders pay in income tax, insurance premiums and co-pays.
