Sure. And the woman in the article I linked was not able to afford to get the heart operation here in the US, so she flew to India in order to get it at a fraction of the cost. And there’s nothing even particularly wrong with that. But seizing on these individual cases and acting as though they mean something about the system is silly.

Remember when there was that asinine froo-fur-ah about how Hawkings wouldn’t have survived if he’d had NHS care, and then it turned out his care was NHS care?

Does that prove anything in particular about socialized medicine?
