in the least. I live in a country with socialized medicine but it isn't the bee's knees. "You get what you pay for." comes to mind. When I was privately insured here, I went to the doctor and was given every test under the sun and my insurance was charged an arm and a leg and we paid out the nose every month for the policy. Publicly insured now and the costs are much lower but my coverage doesn't even include blood tests for a regular yearly exam. I was screened within an inch of my life for pre-existing conditions by both insurance companies though.
