🇺🇸🇮🇹 Healthcare is more complicated than “USA bad, Italy good.”

The 🇺🇸 US can be brutally expensive without good insurance.

🇮🇹 Italy can provide excellent care with very low direct costs — especially in regions like Tuscany, where we have outstanding hospitals and surgeons. 🏥❤️

But the system has a price: regional inequality, bureaucracy, waste, corruption and staff shortages. And the SSN also provides care to millions of visitors and supports vulnerable immigrant populations, adding pressure to a system where many healthcare workers already work extremely hard for modest salaries.

The real challenge is making quality healthcare accessible, sustainable and fair — for patients, taxpayers and workers.
