Dude, sorry - but only someone from the US can make a statement like that. Free healthcare is common for more than 60 years (or even longer in a couple of countries) in most "first generation" EU countries and it always used to work. The problem is that we're getting older and older and the few young and fully employed ppl are the ones having to pay for all the others. That plus the middle class is slowly dying and one day, we'll only have rich and poor left, like in Russia for example. So the benefit of free healthcare is not unrealistic at all, it's just our politicians have been asleep during the last few decades and now they start waking up but dunno what to do.
Oh, and we don't have a 4-day work week, at least I don't know any EU country that has it.
