I wouldnt be surprised by that, things like wrong medications and bad drug interactions arent uncommon, every time a doctor hands you a prescription, ask a few questions, ask why he's prescribing it, what the mechanisms for it;s actions are, what interactions and harmful side effects you could expect, most doctors cant answer the questions, they're just drug pushers getting kickbacks from big pharma

Norway and sweden eh?
Chile?
:P
ER visits would definitely be a positive for healthcare. I'm more thinking about the uninsured.
Or really - which country will take care of their poorest citizen?

Ironically probably Cuba; Huge per capita of doctors, and national health care with no privatized clinics.

Prisoner#1 said: modern medicine is advanced quackery
Is it really your assertion that "modern medicine" is quackery, and inferior to pre-industrialized (i.e. "ancient") medicine?
Its pretty to see that industrialized nations top the charts of life expectancy, while 3rd world countries still think "evil spirits" make you sick, and that somehow fucking 10 virgins will cure AIDS.
Not everyone in the U.S. has access to healthcare. This isn't unexpected since we don't have a socialized (universal) healthcare system.
Even when taking into account all the people who don't have healthcare access (which brings the national average WAY down) the U.S ranks 37th in the WHO's world ranking of healthcare systems, and 30th in life expectancy. Those that do have access in the U.S., have it pretty good.

I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did. Smith, P. Bull. Menninger Clinic (1959) 23:20-27; p. 27. ...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely. Osmond, H. Annals, NY Acad Science (1957) 66:418-434; p.436

So lets say I bring my family and parents over to Australia - how hard is it to get citizenship for healthcare?
Am I better off stuck in the US paying for healthcare than trying to secure it in another country?
