<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Our contact in Spain is a surgical resident in Madrid whom
we have known for 10 years. He told us that if we needed medical care just
to go to the hospital and they will treat us. Spain medicine is available
regardless of ability to pay. They may bill you, might you have to
pay?</FONT></DIV>

that while Medicare does not pay for claims outside the country, they would
pay 80% of the bill. I would however have to pay while abroad and then upon my
return turn in my bills. <BR>Pieter mentioned that military hospitals in Spain
were supposed to treat people for free. John in Australia said to be careful
about Burgos because not only did he get a bill but it was also a hefty one.
