Today, I received two bills for my ER visit when I fractured my elbow in Paris. As an "uninsured" foreigner (I have insurance, but not in France), I owe a total of 200Euro. That's it. My ER copay here at home is higher than that.

Several xrays plus quick, efficient, multilingual care - shockingly affordable. Amazing.

Would a French person feel the same way if they were hurt on vacation in the US and needed treatment? Absolutely not.

It serves as yet another reminder of how badly messed up the US "healthcare" system is.

When I took my parents to Germany to visit their son (much younger brother, in the military), Dad had a flare of diverticulitis. Went to a German doc blocks from hotel. I think we paid $20 for the visit & treatment. Healthcare in the US is an abomination.
