i think that’s because european countries hawe health insurance treaties. when going to the south of europe a few years ago i was recommended to get an official state medical insurance card to show that i was insured through another european system, otherwise i may have to pay full price.
Comment on Can an American go to Europe just for cheaper healthcare?

Yes. Europeans themselves also travel to other European countries for cheaper healthcare.
For example, there’s a town of 35k people in Hungary that has over 300 dental clinics, because it’s close to the Austrian border and is about half the cost or less.

Americans can’t do it. No EHIC.
