I’d be treated just as well in the United States if I had the same disease, although insurance and high cost might be an issue.

I have cousins who live in Korea who genuinely like their universal healthcare, (20-50 bucks for a MRI!) although they recall horror stories for patients who are seriuosly ill.

This country is probably headed towards universal healthcare. I’m not totally opposed to it, but I wonder how it will play out. We have tons more people here compared to Canada, Great Britain or most Asian countries. Americans surely won’t tolerate paying 6,7 buck a gallon to fund healthcare. I don’t trust our politicians to make the smooth transition.
