Am 28.

I was quite happy with Germany's system. I didn't need to use it much, but did have a couple of emergencies. Care was good. I think there was less pain management than in the US, but that didn't bother me too much. OTOH, I know people who had what I'd consider to be extreme precautions as part of their medical care. Maybe the lack of pain mgt was because I didn't complain or exhibit great concern about the pain I was in. It was quite inexpensive despite having to see Dr. Fee :). ciao, der.hans -- # http://www.LuftHans.com/Classes http://www.TwoGeekTechs.com/ # Director of Engineering, FonWallet Transaction Solutions, Inc. # Magic is science unexplained. - der.hans
