Also from crazy high taxation, inflation, and soon to come energy rationing

Still sounds preferable compared to the US to be honest (as a US citizen with a residency visa app pending with a Western European country). Note the respondent paying $1800/month for two 63 year olds, or folks spending $2k-$3k/month for a family. These costs are simply unsustainable. Europe will eventually get their energy situation resolved, sooner than the US will fix their healthcare situation.
Well here in Switzerland there isn't much difference.

Public + private spending; the US spends $12k/person, the Swiss $7k.

The US is roughly double or more than any other developed nation in per-capita healthcare spending.
