    IIRC, someone did the math on something like a major surgery… in the US, if you have really good insurance, and don’t run into those nasty surprises like some out-of-network doctor poking his head into your operation and asking if the main doc needs his ass scratched (which appears as roughly $13,000.00 on your bill); but if everything goes without a hitch…

    …it’d still be like a quarter of the cost to just fly to Europe, have the operation done there, hang out there for two weeks in a hotel while you recover, food, gas, etc, and then fly back to the US.

    …no, that wasn’t a typo.
