WD> Some of my American friends got all worked-up over our "socialized
 WD> medicine" and how bad it is...

   Strange isn't it? They have no idea what it's all about -- until the day
that they get a six digit hospital bill, and then it's all too late.

   My wife's hospital treatment included an ECMO hospital air plane transport
500km across Sweden. Add to that 42 days of ICU.

   Total cost SEK300 (EUR30 I think) for an appointment that she missed because
she was dead and therefore didn't cancel in time. Other than that I don't
remember any other bills coming in. But then again, I wasn't really myself by
the time...  :(
