    Default USA healthcare

    If I was an American with no insurance and needed minor treatment I'd just get a flight to the UK and be treated for free.

    I'm sure the flight would be cheaper than most excess charges.

    Good idea??

    Depends on how minor it is. The only people who pay sticker price for medical treatments in the US (right now anyway) are people without health care.

    It could be cheaper to just catch a flight to London.

    And maybe its easier to withdraw from life

    The Big Machine will just move on
    Still we cling afraid we'll fall
    Clinging like the memory which haunts us all

    If it's like here (don't know if it is), you couldn't do that. I have to have a health card in my province to get free health care.

    Hmmm. so it's that easy? I figured you had to be a citizen of the UK. Well hell, I'm surprised everyone needing expensive cancer treatments doesnt just fly there then.

    Fly from the US to to the UK to get a broken arm treated....sounds like a lovely flight....makes perfect sense to me...

    Before you book a flight, you should know it doesn't work that way. In the end, it would probably wind up costing more and worse, the care in the UK is not as good as care in the US. I would advise someone against that plan.

    Good idea??

    I don't have any issues with you..but on this point, you're dead wrong. I have a cut, broken leg, sick, need a checkup, blood tests...whatever....FREE. And that's for anyone...poor or rich.
