Exactly! I speak from personal experience I have had with our healthcare system, I am astounded that some folks continue to have their heads in the sand and pretend we have the greatest system in the world.

I would not hesitate to be treated in another Western nation. I've paid for and received surgery in Canada (I am an American) because in 2000, it was far cheaper than in the U.S.
With his wife's money, I don't think cost is an issue.

Quit trying to change the subject.

MANY of the left say our health care is inferior to Europe's. So, if you break a leg in Europe, why NOT get it set there? Setting a leg is NOT rocket science. Even the most junior doctor's can do it.
