Just wanted to take a moment to shill for Czech semi-socialized medical system. Urgent surgery, MRI, PET and CT scans, biopsies, a first, second and third opinion and a week in the hospital cost me a grand total of 90CZK. Approximately $3.87 USD. As far as I can tell, the quality of care was broadly comparable to what I would have gotten in the US (based on experience in the US system).
