If you want to think American's are flocking to European health care, its your right of course. Sweden does have fine doctors if you are willing to pay on the private side.

Let me see, 1968. That was about the same year my girlfriends grandfather had electo shock therapy in the US. Because we all know electricity into the brain is the way to cure the demons of schizophrenia.
Where are you finding all these inhumane "studies" that swedes have supposedly performed on children? I myself can only remember the time men in white coats came to my class, took me to the school nurse's office and injected caries into EVERY SINGLE ONE of my teeth, after which I had to stand in line for 6 hours to get an Advil. I didn't even get a lollipop.
Now, how is testing titanium implants a bad thing? Do you actually think people were forced to have them implanted? Having the choice to try something new out is in my book a good thing, then again I'm not american.
To me, it seems like the point you're trying to make is that american doctors are the best in the world and that citizens of any other country, be it a rich euopean country or a third world one, will nonetheless receive inadicuate care if not treated by an american physician. If indeed this is your view point, it is the kind of statement that makes other americans with a more wordly outlook embarassed to be an american.
How do you know where to find a good doctor in Sweden? Have you ever been to one, private or otherwise?
