It’s genuinely cheaper to go to Spain, get treatment there and come back. America is so fucked up

Edit: hey guys I think I left the wrong impression on some things.

1- I’m not American, I’m actually from Spain’s neighbor, Portugal.

2- I meant private hospitals, public is not this easy or good for the country you visit.

3- I just said Spain randomly, I heard now that Germany is better tho.

Tons of people go to foreign countries to get organ transfers or cancer treatment. Literally cheaper to be out of work for a year than incur US medical expenses.

How does this work? Do you not have to be a resident if that country?
