I recently moved to the UK from the US and my wife has some severe medical problem. I wrote a long rant here, but I decided to be more sucinct.
UK: Decent care and treatment of foreigners with pre-existing conditions. My wife's health has improved greatly in simply a month.
USA: Don't bother. Neglecting all of the economic concerns, the actual care isn't that great. Your Crohn's disease will either be treated with a bottle of pain killers that don't do anything besides hide the problem, or you'll be accussed of being an addict searching for pain killers and tasked with proving that you actually have Crohn's disease. If the blood test comes back confirming what you've original said, they'll just repeat the blood test over and over again until statistical uncertain confirms their original diagnosis.
I've started to rant again, so I'll stop here. If you want to know more about the USA or the UK, my e-mail address is in my profile.
