Unfortunately I have ongoing conversations with an Oncologist at MGH monthly who has 1st hand experience with healthcare in England. She was born and raised in England. Her mother just passed away (pancreatic cancer). She was beyond distraught because in this country her mother's condition would have been found earlier. In England she had to have a stroke to be taken to the hospital where they incidentally discovered the disease. Her opinion of healthcare in europe is generally ok on average, and that it is just average. Her opinion of healthcare in the US is excellent in certain areas, above average in many cities, and average everywhere else. She has told me that given a choice, she'd take this healthcare system. I also have a cousin who is from Argentina, raised in Massachusetts, resides in England. His 20 something daughter was born with a cleft palate in a London hospital. All six surgeries to correct the problem were done in Boston at his full expense.
