U.S. Hospitals - too expensive?

I don't have a forum stalker except katmai.

You can have mongers.  He will deny stalking me, anyway (even if he admitted it in this thread), so you can claim him without fear of contradiction.

For my recent trip first to a medical centre and then to the hospital to have 4/5 stitches put in my chin, could well have cost me $2,000-3,000 in America. 

This is the reason I wouldn't visit America, have an accident and despite medical travel insurance, risk ending up in some administrative BS that leave you with a big bill or possible compromised treatment because of uncertainty of who's paying.    

Please not I'm not saying this is likely to happen, but that it's a fear one doesn't need whilst travelling.

They wouldn't comprimise treatment, and ultimately, they can't make you pay. No one is going to fly across the ocean to break your knees.

They will however put you on a plane to Syria if you ever enter the US again.

The purchasing power of a neurosurgeon at a Maserati dealership is not a perverse incentive, g.

Don't be so sure he's restricting it to forum only. I heard (secondhand) that he'd been checking prices on tickets to Stockholm.

I don't worry. I was just told no one would do that.

Do demonstrate that.

The problem with having 'a grumbler' is perhaps similar to treading in dog shit, you think you've gotten the last off the shoe, but the smell lingers.

Do keep posting snide replies to my posts, as I figure it takes up time, which you might otherwise utilise to take pot-shot at some of our more vulnerable members on the forum.

Oh, I don't doubt the wisdom and the experience of what you're saying, it just one of those niggles at the back of one's mind, when you should be trouble free whilst holidaying. 

Which is why the pan-European system of reciprocal health cover is somewhat re-assuring.

Willingly travel to Sweden?     You're probably right.

Stalking accusations are ridiculous on a forum this small.

Walk a mile in my shoes.

I've walked several miles in close proximity to your shoes.

Well, now I feel the need to clarify. Responding to posts in many/most threads you post in is not stalking. Trying to track down somebody's home address is.

For Christ's sake.

You already jumped the shark with your ridiculous Krackel comment.  Cut your losses dude.
