US healthcare is mind-boggling and uber-scary for visitors. I usually rely on my credit-card automatic insurance cover when travelling overseas, but I take out a separate and fully comprehensive travel policy if USA is on the itinerary.
New Zealand has universal healthcare plus an accident insurance scheme that not only pays for your medical treatment, but also up to 80% of your pre-accident income. It means you cannot sue for loss and injury in an accident, unlike in USA where I understand jumping out in front of moving vehicles is one way to earn an income.
Accessible health care is a basic human right, no?
