In a "country with socialized medicine" that is in the 1st world (ie US/CA/UK/AU/NZ/EU etc) she'd probably get exactly the same treatments. Oh and the cost of that hospital room would have been literally a tenth of the cost. I (or my insurance) wasn't charged half of that for a post-operative 48 hours in an ICU after quad bypass surgery. The US already has a third of its population covered by "socialized medicine". That's what Medicare/Medicaid/Tricare /VA are. The "socialized" adjective is a canard introduced by the health care "industry" in the US to scare people. US Medicare admin costs are below 5% pa, the health insurance "industry" doing the same thing, are 20% of their revenue.
