also many dual citizens of other countries go ''home'' for medical procedures simply because it costs so much less. Let's face it folks, US citizens are being gouged .. and mistakes with meds and hospital procedures happen all the time. Our health care system rates very low among nations .. according to the WHO organization: 37th. It could be inaccurate according to many factors: diet, exercise, stress, environment etc. But the U.S. doesn't even come close to the top 10 .. France and Italy rankings are higher. You can go to some quacks here in the U.S. just as well .. so don't go knocking the medical professions of other countries.
