Yes, but you have socialized medicine over there, that could never happen here, just look at the chaos that the so called Obamacare is causing...
Here everything is on a state-by-state basis, and a centralized medical system is unfeasible, IMO...
Plus... it wasn't *really* free, you pay it out of your taxes... when we lived there, we paid 49% of income in taxes...
Some people in the US would raise hell if they had to pay taxes so everyone can have medical care, LOL!
