[QUOTE="truce, post: 243634, member: 11400"] brett636, where did you get such weird facts? How many of you have actually been to even Canada, let alone other countries? In my State of America, I wait an average 3-4 weeks for a doctor's appointment, unless it was scheduled 12 months in advance. Then I know that my appointment is confirmed for next Fall. Then, if I just call around to see any doctor for an unscheduled issue, there is absolutely no possible way to get in with anyone. Most doctors are booked with a long, long line of patients. We [B]only[/B] rely on emergency care. This is why everyone has a false sense that you can get immediate health care in America. ER is outrageously expensive. Lots of countries have ERs, and it's possible that they have better emergency service levels. I've been to one ER in the US. It took 3 hours to get a minor issue taken care of... Yes, Europeans pay a lot in taxes for medical care, but I had a hernia surgery in Germany. It was a mandatory 2-week stay in the hospital with meals provided (and beer downstairs).
