Because he would be dead and buried before he could have gotten treatment in countries with Government health Care like we will be getting. Emergency surgery takes several months in Canada - same in Europe.
2 :
Our system has failed because nobody can pay for it, not because the care is bad. In fact we have pretty goddamn good health care if you have the money for it. It's all a matter of perspective.

Because he had money to pay for it.

The problem with our health care system is NOT the availability of treatments or quality of treatments. Rather, its the through the roof prices that are a problem. If you have money, the US has a lot of top procedures and treatments.

Lol @ 'knowitall'; before you start repeating the scare stories about countries with universal health care put about by the American right, remember these hilarious claims by one US newspaper: ''People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the UK, where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless''. Of course, Hawking was born and bred in the UK, and responded to this nonsense by saying he owed his life to the National Health Service. I live in the UK; as elsewhere, cancer is treated as an emergency. I had surgery four weeks after diagnosis; it has to be within that time - it's the law. I don't know anything about Placido Domingo or his treatment; but if he elected to have treatment in the US, it's because he could afford it. It's not the treatment given in the US that's the failure of US health care; it#s the fact that in the richest country on the planet, the poorest citizens don't have access to it.
