I've experienced socialized medicine in Japan and in the United Arab Emirates. For those of us who are not often ill and in need of hospital care, I can say that it has been great. In Japan I had emergency surgery following a crash where I drove my scooter into a parked truck and broke my cheek bone, left arm, and jaw and spent 24 days in the hospital, including 4 days in intensive care, 3 of which were unconscious, and the cost to me was about US$2,000, and in the UAE I've had three surgeries (broken wrist in a fishing/boating accident, broken elbow incurred in a squash match falldown, and hernia) and the cost to me for each has been zero. Why can these countries do it well, but the USA can't?
