If you compare the medical costs in the United States with those in European countries, you will find that they are manytimes higher. In case someone doesn't have the medical insurance (which itself is very unaffordable to the majority of the population), that individual will be left financially ruined in case of hospitalization. Even generic drugs cost 10x or 20x more in the United States when compared to neighboring nations such as Canada and Mexico. Nowadays a lot of Americans are traveling abroad for their medical treatment, and Thailand, Mexico and Singapore are emerging as affordable options.
