This is a late response regarding health care and Thailand.
If today I won the lottery think I would move to Thailand. Been there four times. Yes, hot and humid but so beautiful and people and culture exceptional. Visited twice to shop and vacation plus values great. Twice when it was advised I temporarily get out of the Middle East on short notice due to security issues. Had five cats at the time, we experienced some fine 5 star hotels in Thailand. Cancelled my last visit, would have been my 5th visit, at the last moment due to a premonition. Was suppose to spend X-mass holiday with friends at a beachfront home in Phuket. Two of three friends died during the wave.
Friends in the States tend to think social medical care in Canada great. Yes, my high taxes pay for much of my healthcare and I do have my government health care card. Been in Canada since 2003, twice visited emergency rooms, never paid a dime or had to fill out a form for my healthcare treatments. However, services not as good as you find in the US, if you can afford healthcare in the US. Example: to get an MRI appointment in Canada might take 4 months in the current healthcare system but if you wait you will not have to pay for the MRI. However, one of my cats had a healthcare issue last Nov., I paid out-of-pocket and cat received an MRI within 24 hours. Sad to say I can pay thousands out of pocket to get my cat an MRI on short notice, but with Canada socialist healthcare, I would have to wait months for an MRI for myself.
When I was younger, had cosmetic procedures and no regrets. In the future, if I wanted further procedure's, would not hesitate going to Thailand.
