[quote=Anonymous]If we're talking straight healthcare, it's the US far and away. The circumstantial evidence - that wealthy foreigners travel here for care - is fairly clear. Have you ever heard of travel for health care (except to get cheap plastic surgery/dental care)? I lived in Western Europe for 5 years - there were some nice plusses - in home visits by the pediatrician, for example, but when we needed serious interventions, it was terrifyingly slow and difficult. I had a preemie at 30 weeks, and every day I walked into that NICU I thanked my lucky stars she was born in the United States. Now, if we want to get into the insanity related to cost/transparency/access/pressure by pharma to treat problems rather than prevent them...that's certainly another discussion in which the US does not come out on top.[/quote]
