    Funny thing. Some of my Norwegian family came to the US for healthcare they couldn’t get in Norway. I believe it was some type of heart surgery one time and and I can’t remember the other. So while it is expensive and out of pocket you can actually get that surgery when you need it.

      Sounds like it was a specialist surgery that Norway’s smaller population doesn’t accommodate. Hardly an indication that other countries are flocking to the US for their on demand healthcare.

        Yeah but I mean I really wasn’t saying people are flocking to the US. I’m just saying that people with means, even in the countries we think of as having great health care do still come to the US to get advanced procedures they can’t get or can’t get fast enough where they are. But as the meme says it’s going to be expensive. Edit: Oh I just realized I’ve been posting on .ml, I need to stop doing that…
