My house mate's mother fell and injured her back while visiting us last week. She lives in Britain and is covered by their medical system. We took her to the emergency here. Twenty minutes of care and one x-ray cost almost 2 grand. When she got back to Britain she saw her doctor there the first day she was home. No wait. He spent at least an hour going over all the symptom she was having, did another couple of x-rays, wrapped her ribs, which the doc here neglected to do. Cost: Zero. I'm for that system.
