I am getting ready to take my first trip to Japan and was wondering what kind of health care is available.. Health care here is so lame.. My girlfriend always tells me how cheap it is in Japan for doctors visits, x-rays, dental work etc.. This of course refers to those Japanese people who have health insurance.. Can travelers get insurance as well and be seen during their trip? Definetly thinking about it since I have no health insurance here in the US and thought that if its soo much cheaper in Japan I might as well visit a doctor or a dentist while Im there..
