Before having surgery, I was told by my insurance company that my deductible had been reached, and that there was nothing for me to pay.

I'm thinking of getting surgery to remove nasal polyps. Should I get it done in the Boston area, where I have no insurance, or in Bergen, Norway, where I'll be returning for work in January (with a worker's visa)? Or should I have it done at all?
