It must be cool to live with your european head in the sand and be told you have a high standard of living with good health care.

When was the last time someone wanted the best teatment available hopped a plane and headed for europe?
The man is right. I am european and when I needed to have my mother's cancer treated The Mayo Clinic in Rochester did what everybody over here claimed was impossible.

They came up with a specialy designed chemo treatment and without all the side effects chemo usualy has the cancer was destroyed.

The reason the USA is ahead on medical treatments is the way their system works. Their specialists have a lot more to loose then ours. If a hospital does not come up with certain treatments investors stop pouring money into the hospital so the presure to perform is high.

Over here it's funded by the government so there is no real presure which makes us walk behind the facts coming out of the USA.

Each system has their upsides and downsides but when it comes to revolutionary treatments the USA is the place to look no doubt in my mind.
