I had elective surgery in the U.K. a few years ago. If I had had it done here in the U.S., it would have cost well over $100,000. In the U.K., it was $7500. And no, it wasn't in a government facility. It was in a private hospital. The price included three nights in a private hospital room, and all of my meals.
Our health care costs are out of control. Anyone who can't see that is blind.

On the other hand, western Europeans do have a higher life expectancy than Americans.
