When Americans travel do other cultures treat them as victims of abuse? Because that's what this sounds like.

This is how every person deserves to be treated.

Absolutely not. What happened in this story is absolutely normal over here, regardless if the person is from the USA, France or just around the corner. The cost of calling an ambulance is fully covered by insurance as is all other essential healthcare. Worst that can happen is that you have to pay 20€ for the trip to the hospital to discourage people from using ambulances as taxis.

For an extreme example, someone from my family had breast cancer a few years back and the largest item on her bill for over two years of treatment was a few bucks for the food she got at the hospital.

I had emergency gallbladder surgery and 2 nights in the hospital.... $16,000.

USA USA USA!

Did that some time ago, because of some issues I had to stay in urgent care for 10 days. I paid nothing of course.

That said it's not all good, here in Italy for example they are destroying public healthcare even in areas where it used to be excellent, I've been waiting since December for a visit to the orthopedist I'll finally have in July, meanwhile I have a shoulder that's constantly annoying me because of a calcified ligament.

They try to force you to go to private doctors, in my case I could spend 150-200€ and get it over with.

Check if one of your ancestors lost their citizenship due to the nazis, you might be able to claim it back. Or apply for a blue card
