It happened to a close British friend of mine living is the UK.
He was with a big multinational who decided to cut senior staff and he lost his cover.
Between getting new covered he discovered he had prostate cancer.
All he had in the US was tests, total bill $20,000.
The estimated bill for treating the cancer was $80,000.
He lived the American dream and does not have $100,000 in the bank.

He tried to get Medicaid and was turned down.
He's late 50s, single, no dependents and out of work, even though he will find employment when the cancer is cleared.
During his nearly 30 years in the US he had full cover and paid full taxes on wages that were well into 6 figures.
No insurance company would touch him and cover the cancer.

He flew to the UK and as a British citizen had an operation to remove the tumor.
The UK specialists said it was the cheapest, best and most certain way of ridding him of the prostate cancer and the American recommendations would of not been as good.
He had radiation treatment to make double sure it was gone.
He flew back to the US to take a job and flew back to the UK for check ups and a bit of further treatment.
Total cost for this was the cost of the air flights, I think less than $5,000.

In the US he was a dead man. In the UK he was cured as every other UK citizen. It's a service with a lot less thrills and a lot less cost to all who pay, but the survival rates are far higher. Less money for a better system. And as you can see a system I believe in.

In Czech I'm covered by the CZ National Health system. Over and above my National Insurance tax it costs $1.50 a visit to the doctor or hospital. Today the hospital car park cost $20.

Will cut that cost down. LOL
