How come Farrah Fawcett went to Germany for her cancer treatments? And she's not the first nor will she be the last......and not just for cancer but AIDs treatments as well. Americans also travel to France and Belgium for treatments.

In fact, I have not heard of anyone recently coming to the US to take advantage of our health care. I am sure there are some but I am beginning to think its mostly another wife's tale perpetuated by the right. AMIRITE?

No...they don't have better coverage...and they have confiscatory tax rates to pay for all the socialist BS....if coverage is so great why do so many Europeans seek treatment in the US?

Their unit costs are a little over 1/2 ours.

If the US is so great why do Americans go all over the world for treatment?
