So, anyone care to tell me why they didn't go to a hungarian hospital?

I don't get it. Is this supposed to be some sort of tragedy?
Fwiw Hungary is one of the poorest countries in the EU, and its citizens are still way better-off than those of any poor US state (say, WV or MI). You don't think fat people, or even people of ordinary health, die of preventable conditions in poor US states all the time?
The reason this person had to go to a US hospital was that for all the blather about the EU medical system inviting irresponsibility, it is working exactly as it should. A fat whale has to pay out of pocket for treatment instead of getting paid off by everyone else. The US medical system is the best money can buy - but almost no one can.
