Title: Cars and socialized medicine.

While visiting another site, I saw that a good fellow in Denmark just bought one of these.

A cute little thing but the COST.....sheesh....Because of excise tax, VAT tax, etc., it's around $80,000.....and the diesel fuel for it is $7 a gallon (gas is $10)

But then he states he's just had major surgery and his outlay was only $20 for some pills. I think we're better off in the USA. Cost for something like that here would be $30 to $40 thou.( with diesel fuel around $2.50 a gallon).....you can buy a lot of health insurance and pay for a lot of medicine with the difference in cost.

Here's a link...BUT PLEASE....don't go there and start something.... discussing politics and religion or off limits
I've already seen a couple of good woodworking sites destroyed by politics.
