Lord -
Here's the thing, if you need critical, life-saving surgery in America, you can and will get it for free. Hospitals cannot reject you if you've been shot, stabbed, or in the throes of death. Heck, it happened to my dad. He had blood pressure of 230/150 and was admitted to the VA immediately, and was (literally) 6 hours away from death. My parents had no money, but the VA took care of all of it.
The problem is when you need non-life saving surgeries. Its kind of like the issues with rationing healthcare in the UK. In the US, its terribly expensive, in the UK, its a long waiting time.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
