Alles.
Iets in mij zegt dat de gezondheidszorg da ar betaalbaarder is dan u wilt laten uitschijnen.
Welke gek wilt daar anders gaan wonen.

Het is onbetaalbaar in de VS tenzij je veelvoudig miljonair bent of een goede ziekteverzekering hebt.
Hier een mooi voorbeeld :

Citaat:
Mr. Shopenn, 67, an architectural photographer and avid snowboarder, had been in such pain from arthritis that he could not stand long enough to make coffee, let alone work. He had health insurance, but it would not cover a joint replacement because his degenerative disease was related to an old sports injury, thus considered a pre-existing condition.
Desperate to find an affordable solution, he reached out to a sailing buddy with friends at a medical device manufacturer, which arranged to provide his local hospital with an implant at what was described as the “list price” of $13,000, with no markup. But when the hospital’s finance office estimated that the hospital charges would run another $65,000, not including the surgeon’s fee, he knew he had to think outside the box, and outside the country.

Dus 78 000 dollar voor een nieuwe heup, zonder het ereloon van de dokter, dus zeg maar een kleine 100 000 dollar, all in.

An artificial hip, however, costs only about $350 to manufacture in the United States, according to Dr. Blair Rhode, an orthopedist and entrepreneur whose company is developing generic implants.

Citaat:
He ultimately chose to have his hip replaced in 2007 at a private hospital outside Brussels for $13,660. That price included not only a hip joint, made by Warsaw-based Zimmer Holdings, but also all doctors’ fees, operating room charges, crutches, medicine, a hospital room for five days, a week in rehab and a round-trip ticket from America.

100 000 US$ tov 13 660$, inclusief vlucht heen en terug naar de VS.
Dat is toch duidelijk dacht ik? |
