Living in Spain for the past 3 years, I can say that you are dead wrong as to socialized Healthcare in this country. And we know several people from the US who travel here for health procedures because even with airfare and hotel rooms included, its much cheaper than the cost in the US.

I didn't say anything regarding costs, I stated in some countries qualify of care and services is below par in education, equipment and medications.... And that is a fact.

Canadian healthcare services is placing geriatric patients on Hospice instead of treating them to save funding. Those same patients would get treatment and operative services in the US.

I have a friend in France that was placed on a 6month waiting list for a head CT to rule out glioblastoma. He flew to the US and had it performed the same day.

And I've white knuckled it through gallbladder attacks because the high deductible on my shitty insurance made surgery prohibitive.
