I sure miss the health care system in Italy. You go to the doctor, there is no one else there, because there's no need for paperwork. The doctor just types your name into their system and that's all that's needed. My son was born there. Total cost: 0. Same son had a minor tumble once, but proceeded to have one of these, which absolutely scared us to death: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breath-holding_spell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breath-holding_spell - we called an ambulance because his lips were a bit blue. He started breathing again just fine as we called, but they sent it anyway. Total cost: 0. And it was nice not having to think about that when we made the call. It got there very quickly and they took him and my wife in to check him out in any case, just to be sure. There are a lot of things I like about life in the US, and things that didn't work well in Italy too, but the health care system was just nice in that it's just there and you don't have to screw around comparing confusing plans and worrying about it being attached to your job.
