[S.T.D.]

I enjoy Israels socialized medicine.

For a small country it is ok. And even we have abuses and significant abusers. On top of that it's very inconvenient. The drakonian uber HMOish stuff we put up with is a little idiotic. Need to go to the Hospital? well get your doctor to refer you... or pay out of pocket. Or call an ambulance which is a relatively huge expense.

That said, Israel has w/o doubt the best doctors in the world. From trauma to cancer to heart disease I dont think any place has as a consistent a record than Israel. And given that so many Olim from so many places are involved in medicine, it is also incredibly multi-approach unlike many other Western countries.
