I'd be all for required annual checkups, if insurance could never drop a person for a pre-existing condition. So long as I didn't need to pay the doctor to be there for the annual checkup.
Again - healthcare is never free - not even in "free healthcare Europe" as the US media calls it. Taxes. HUGE, very high taxes.

But at this point, everyone would have insurance and to avoid being dropped for any reason ever all anyone would have to do is visit the doctor for an annual checkup.
This would make the practice a lot like getting your oil changed.

In NIcaragua, doctors are free and work at pharmacies, but yo udon't need a script for anything. Just buy what you need. But I didn't need anything so didn't test that out.
I need 6 lbs of opioids, for um a cough. . .
Viagara is a popular item as well.
...and we're back to the hot roommate.
I doubt anyone would need viagara there! LOL
Pics of the roommate needed for veracity.

You may want to look into it. Taxes aren't that much higher in Europe and definitely not when you compare it to things that you "get" for those taxes that you would pay for in the US out of pocket.

Actually, that's totally false. Healthcare isn't just free, it GENERATES REVENUE. It's a tax REDUCTION system, not a cost center. Good healthcare increases the economy, it doesn't take out of it.
Saying things like "nothing is ever free" is a really bad way to think of things. Because things aren't just often free, you often make money by doing things.
Example... is spending $5 free? Is GETTING $5 free? If nothing is ever free, how did we ever get the money to spend on all these things in the first place?

Actually that's partially why their taxes are so reasonable compared to the US. You say things like that they "pay" for their healthcare. Did you look that up? Because European healthcare's up front cost is trivial compared to the cost of it in the US - and they get so much better healthcare that it actually earns them money. Unlike in the US where we pay fo much that it doesn't pay off.
European taxes are high, but no different from the US, but go to so many more things.

Even in Texas, my US taxes were lower than the taxes would be with the same income in France or Italy (both with dramatically better healthcare than in the US - being ranked #1 and #2 in the world.) You can't call it "so high" of taxes when it's the same as the "low" taxes.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40639140My favorite part of that whole thing is how the mayor and the police department just went through an entire court case that involved body cameras that were mysteriously off at a critical time. Obviously, no lessons learned. Body cameras need to be on 100% of the time, and they mustn't be able to be tampered with by the officers.
