      you will probably not be entirled tobhealthcare in Europe either then.

      Usually the idea is that you pay as a worker into the healthcare system. If you never paid in here you will probably have to fo dor private insurance and you’ll be faced with similiar rates like in the US because the age of entry is crucial for the rates of private health insurance

        Some European countries do provide healthcare if you get permanent residence or citizenship, despite not paying throughout your life.

        Some countries have “universal healthcare” for all citizens, you only pay as a worker to get a retirement fund.

        So you can end up penniless and homeless, but they will keep you alive (…sometimes to suffer for as long as possible, but that’s a different matter).
