Italian healthcare

yes, ....love the house calls! My family doctor is great - she came to see me at home (and brought me a flowering plant) the day I came home from tumor surgery and always makes time for me when I need to just stop by and ask her a question (and all at no cost!)
So, for those of you that are thinking that "socialized" medicine doesn't work, well, I am a HUGE fan (before when I lived in the US ... no!) but now, trying the system and even in a "different language" well, I'm really impressed. Thank god I'm not having to pay those high insurance fees, deductables, drugs that aren't covered ... etc. .... I just am really thankful.

And, hey, its beautiful here too! :-) Always helps the mental attitude! Sun, sand... sea!
