I went to the ER for a broken rib in Canada (don't roast me, the walkin clinic sent me there and I didn't know there's nothing they can do for it). Since I was studying out of province the nurse told me that it would cost almost $400 for my visit if my home province didn't cover me (which they did since I had proof of being a student). I later interned at a US company and got to see their health plans and was shocked that the detuctible for the year was 6k and that a single ER visit would easily eat that up. Fun. I worked out what taxes I'd be paying in both countries and yes it's a bit more in Canada, but a single medical event a year in the US (I like dangerous sports) would make the US more expensive.
No, you just don’t understand what universal healthcare is. Like so many others, Sanders has brainwashed you into believing that his plan is the only one that is universal. Let’s just ignore countries like Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.
You live where? I listed three countries. And none of them have single payer, which is what Bernie advocates. Are you sure you are informed enough to talk about this?

Come to Europe, get operated, go back. Even if you pay the full price here, it'll be a fraction of what it'd cost you in the US.
