It’s basically to the point where it’s:
> Go to <any country outside the US> and be treated for <fractional amounts>

For Hepatitis C? Absolutely not. It's way easier for US citizens to access the drugs to cure HCV in the US than it is for, say, British citizens to access it in the UK.
If you want to talk about other conditions, fine, but for Hepatitis C, this statements is patently false.
"Approved treatments" just means "there exists a circumstance under which the NHS will cover them". For starters, the NHS almost never treats patients in acute stages of infection, whereas insurers in the US don't distinguish between acute and chronic infections. The NHS also tries to force patients to use interferon-based treatment first before covering the newer medications. There are ways around that, but it's not simple or easy.
You'd likely pay more than a resident/citizen who may not pay or may a token amount. But this full price will still be very small in comparison to US (eg full price of doctor's consultation in France is like 25 EUR).
Even Switzerland which is expensive for Europe in terms of healthcare is cheap comparatively (a simple ER visit might be a few hundreds, not thousands).
FTFY
FTFY a bit more honestly.
