You traveled the world and had a major health problem and experienced socialist healthcare?

I have a friend who decided he'd be better off as a Canadian. It wasn't long before he came back to the US. And Canadians still come to America when they have a serious health problem.

Since you've discovered that life in other countries is so much better than America, what's stopping you from immigrating to your favorite?

BTW, I've actually lived in foreign countries. I also toured East Berlin in 1969.

I recall an online discussion years ago by survivors of Chernobyl. They remarked that a root canal was free in Russia, but you had to buy your own anesthetic. Generally, the health care workers expected bribes.

Keep in mind, though, that the US health care system is very heavily interfered with by the government and all their programs. It's not very free market, but it's still better than socialism.
