Portugal: paid out of pocket, no insurance. A trip to the ER to refill a prescription (it's what our landlord told us to do) took about twenty minutes and cost under $30. Filling that prescription cost less than the copay in the U.S.

Thailand: paid out of pocket, no insurance. A trip to the ER for digestive issues took under an hour and the visit plus antibiotics cost under $200. This was at Bumrungrad, one of the best hospitals in Thailand.

I'll double-check, but I'm pretty confident my wife's care in the UK was under the NHS. Nepal was also her, I think it was out of pocket, but I'll check.




Thanks, that's insightful. I take your point from above.
