Either way, Serbia and Russia are not anywhere to be found on that link I posted. That's because all you can do when you get sick in those countries is pray for a quick death :D

I priced policies from providers at healthcare.gov
The price for the same person- me, was a high of $1,200 / month and a low of $320 / month. This is not from some internet chart ... Specific to my locale. The difference was PPO v. HMO and the deductibles -- the mandated coverage was the same.
In the USA the healthcare is a capitalist industry performed for a profit.
One of the best investments in REIT (real estate investment trust) shares is medical property leases and leasebacks. Hospital and health insurance stocks are considered ''sure things'' to appreciate and pay dividends.
Bottom line, maybe 30% of healthcare costs are inflated by the for profit healthcare delivery system we have in the USA. That is paid out to Wall Street
