Most Europeans pay a much higher price for gasoline than Americans do, anywhere between $6 and $10 more per gallon

That means it would cost 50 bucks to fill up a five gallon can.
$200 to fill of a 20 gallon tank.
That would be over $800 bucks a month in fuel expenses alone with 1 fill up per week.

But THEIR poor get health care and education.
Medicaid in the United States is a social health care program for families and individuals with low income and limited resources. The Health Insurance Association of America describes Medicaid as a "government insurance program for persons of all ages whose income and resources are insufficient to pay for health care".[1] Medicaid is the largest source of funding for medical and health-related services for people with low income in the United States.
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA)[1] is an act of the United States Congress, passed in 1986 as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). It requires hospital Emergency Departments that accept payments from Medicare to provide an appropriate medical screening examination (MSE) to individuals seeking treatment for a medical condition, regardless of citizenship, legal status, or ability to pay.
