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?

    £200~ bill.

    For a stay? Under which king was that?

    About 3-6000 in today’s Germany (still doesn’t take your house).

      IIRC it is calculated by the ward’s operating cost for your time in hospital, then divided by the number of patients. So if it costs £3000 to operate a ward for two days and there were ten patients there, then it’s £300.

        So what you’re saying is that if I get injured, I had best take a few down with me so we can all be in together and split the costs?
