I remembered this old meme the other day and it got me thinking; can you actually travel to Europe as a US citizen exclusively to take advantage of the more affordable healthcare?

In my job I've seen American ambulance bills that cost more than that. And if they used a helicopter or even just a fixed wing medevac it's usually at least 10x as much.

Hell, I've seen routine injections billed higher than that come to think of it...

    I take an injection every four weeks, they cost 600 each. Add up a few visits to the dentist, GP and a check up at an academic hospital and I'd pay about a third of the actual cost.

    Then again my dad never has any ailments, lives a healthy lifestyle with a lot of exercise and he pays the same.
