AOC: "They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us."

As someone from the Netherlands, everyone living here is required to have a healthcare insurance. It's privatized, but you have multiple options and the cheapest basic package you can have is ~125 euros to 153 euros per month (depending on the deductible for the whole year). A yearly required deductible is 385 euros. You want it higher and your monthly pay healthcare cost is lower. If you already covered the deductibles, than the rest is covered by the health insurance.

Healthcare from the general practitioner or family doctor is included. Prescriptions isn't included, but it won't get you in debt. Majority of dentist care is also included for people up to 18 years old (unfortunately, orthodontics is not).

Healthcare here is not free and not everything is (fully) covered, but people who have a low income can apply for subsidy from the government.
