What Healthcare Actually Looks Like When You Move Abroad

I had cancer at thirty. I've navigated healthcare in two countries with that history, including a high-risk pregnancy in Switzerland that cost me nothing beyond my regular insurance premium.

This week I'm talking about what healthcare in Europe actually looks like — how most of Europe's systems work for legal residents, what makes Switzerland different, whether doctors speak English, and what to do about the gap between leaving your American coverage and getting onto a new system.

Also: if you've been telling yourself you can't move abroad because of your health situation — please listen to this one before you make that call. It might not be the barrier you think it is.
