I remembered this old meme the other day and it got me thinking; can you actually travel to Europe as a US citizen exclusively to take advantage of the more affordable healthcare?

To really take advantage of the lower prices you need to be at least a permanent resident of the EU, you can’t do that on a tourist visa, so it depends on your marketable skills if you can get a company to sponsor a visa for you.
Yes, but most Europeans tend to underestimate how expensive medicine is in the USA, from personal experience here in Spain an ambulance ride to the hospital + consultation + x-ray is free for residents and costs €200 for tourists, whereas the same stuff in the USA can cost around $5000 even for residents.
$5K would be cheap for all that.
