All that strutting, all those jumping jack flashes, all those drugs, all that loud music finally took its toll on 75-year-old Mick Jagger's heart. It needed a new valve. And so the British-born, British-raised Jagger had his valve replacement surgery performed...no! no! no!...not in Britain, home to socialized free medicine for all, but right here in the good ol' USA. In New York City. Yes, New York, where he purchased an expensive home nearly three years ago for the American Ballet Theater dancer who is the mother of his eighth child when they demanded gimme shelter, is part of America, no matter what its inhabitants — and the rest of the country — think.
The U.S.'s medical system seems to be treating him very well.
Thank you everyone for all your messages of support, I’m feeling much better now and on the mend - and also a huge thank you to all the hospital staff for doing a superb job.

Well, good. But why did he choose the USA for his medical care instead of England? While I'm not privy to such intimate decisions, perhaps it has something to do with Jagger joining other wealthy celebrities and business people as a tax exile years ago. After all, before he rocked, he studied...accounting (yes, really — at the London School of Economics). He worked hard, made money, and the British socialist government initially took 90% of it.
Someone has to pay for all the free stuff in a socialized country. But many of England's wealthy, including Jagger, decided they wouldn't. So to escape the punishingly high taxes, he recorded in France, and later, fleeing the latter's high taxes, he and his band mates parked their money in Holland thanks to the advice of their accountant.
