美国每年因为医疗破产的几十万，在全世界发达国家是独一份，别的发达国家基本就没有因为医疗破产的，为了医疗原因变成homeless的也不在少数，在丛林社会发问何不是肉糜是来搞笑的嘛

别说南法意大利，就算希腊，饭店都不比美国便宜多少。我刚去了趟中南美洲，饭店也就比加州便宜1/3。但是当地收入还不如中国。

不是有句话 免费的才是最贵的吗！

德国或整个老欧洲在新兴科技发力不足，传统老行业不断失去地盘，而且看不到弯道超车的可能。 这个跟教育和政府政策有关。 欧洲免费教育特别是免费高等教育是好，减少家庭负担， 但大学失去活力， 更不要说科研创新了。 瑞士在欧洲里算保守的， 几个瑞士联邦理工很不错。 但德国历史上辉煌过的洪堡柏林哥廷根等大学基本看不到冒泡， 最好的慕尼黑工业大学也排名不高。免费的大学对个人是好事， 对社会发展拖后腿。

现在兴欧洲巨头兼并美国科技公司补短板跨沟坎，毕竟自己攻关不行。
