...all the "socialized healthcare" countries are subsidized by the US DOD -- the protection without which all of these countries would have a much higher cost basis for the "free care" you love so much.

Oh, and btw, factor in the napoleonic tort system for medical liability and you have another reason why it's so cheap elsewhere. C'mon, you're better than this, no?
