Having the best, most experienced doctor and facilities is one purchase that I don't consider price to be an issue. In not one of the countries you mentioned can anyone say they provide better care. Cheaper, ok. Decent or competant care, fine. But not better. Not to mention the fact that all those countries are moving away from government provided coverage back to private. The government can provide not one single thing better than private industry can and does. (Except for armed forces).
And you know, I don't know anyone that has gone bankrupt from medical care. Nor have I heard of hospitals coming in and setting very high rates that you must pay them back at. The exact opposite is true. They take what you can give. My own personal experience backs this up on more than one occasion. Had 2 surgeries without medical insurance. One cost $12,000 and the other a little less. Took me a few years, didn't always make a payment every month, no intrest was added on, and I paid them off. No big deal. I now carry insurance with a high deductable for major illness or injury, but pay my doctor out of my pocket for office visits.
I don't know who ever started the rumor that receiving the absolute latest and greatest healthcare was some God-given human right. Because it's not. I smoke and have given a great deal of thought to what I will do if ever diagnosed with cancer. I'd bite the bullet, plain and simple. Now maybe I'll make enough someday to pay for better insurance and won't have to face that, but for now that's what I would do. There are worse things than dying, and no one else owes me medical coverage.
