Comment on Can an American go to Europe just for cheaper healthcare?
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 3 weeks agoA lot of places don’t give free healthcare to non residents. Such as the UK. But it can still work out cheaper. I heard a story of an American couple who were over with no health insurance and ended up having to stay a few days in hospital. They were super panicky and were discussing remortgaging their house. Until they were given the £200~ bill.

For a stay? Under which king was that?
About 3-6000 in today’s Germany (still doesn’t take your house).

IIRC it is calculated by the ward’s operating cost for your time in hospital, then divided by the number of patients. So if it costs £3000 to operate a ward for two days and there were ten patients there, then it’s £300.

So what you’re saying is that if I get injured, I had best take a few down with me so we can all be in together and split the costs?

Yes.
