If I have cancer but no medical insurance & not much money, where country should I go to have surgery?
ByQuestion: Since hospitals are too expensive for me in US and I don’t have much money & no insurance, which country should I go to have the surgery? Which country has good doctors with lower price? Which countries have knowledgeble doctors with good medical tools who won’t charge that much either?
If you had cancer and had no insurance with limited money, which country doctor would you trust? Name some countries please?

There are hospitals that provide free care… Usually University Hopsitals.
I know that Boston Medical Center provides free care (on average, 300 million in free care a year).
I don’t know about other hopsitals outside of the Boston area. SOrry.

I think I would check out medical schools in this country first. Many of them have excellent programs and minimal cost and many times on a sliding scale. Look for these kinds of alternatives in this country first. Other countries that have good medical programs sometimes have long waiting times. Time is important when dealing with cancer.

I really do not believe this is a legitimate question.
If you have cancer and needed surgery, you must have already been “worked up” by more than one doctor and all kinds of tests, otherwise how would you know?
This diagnosis process would have cost a lot of money and your financial status would have be addressed by a referral to your state or county social services people a long time ago.
It sounds more like your a Hillary Clinton, Michael Moore fan.
