Cuba! The USA is fine if you have money. Failing that you'll hobble through the pearly gates at an early age. Any attempt to change this will be shouted down with cries of 'Communist!!!!!'

We have a very lot of smart people, not all Australian born either. They are always having break through s, especially with cancer, but have to take it overseas.
I checked a couple of sites and they had this list, I only put the top ten, these were said to be the countries with the best medical care. it was dated 2000 year because the data is hard to produce. I have no idea if this is still the case.

Germany is strong on heart and liver transplants and surgeries. Thyroid gland stuff (endocrinology) is the same level as in the U.S.
I talked to several doctors here in the U.S. and they tell me that Germany is better for routine illnesses, but the U.S. pumps more money into research for weird, exotic and unusual illnesses, so they end up being better if you have something that can't be treated in your own country.
There are also specialists for things like uro-gynecology which doesn't yet exist per se in Europe. (One of those highly specialized things that people in Europe can't really get treatment for).
I also know from experience that high tech stuff is more readily available (faster and closer) - i.e. 3-D imaging before surgery is greatly beneficial, but in Germany you have to run to and from a radiology center because the doctors don't have the stuff in their offices. In the U.S., most do - at least in the north-east.

wishing for a change in weather here and hoping we'll get some snow accumulation. I'd like to get out and do some cross-country skiing. Hope your day is good. handshake:
