No, not all of them. Most are private hospitals like in the States and i would some of them on the same par as some big city hospitals in the U.S. and the cost is a tiny fraction comparively. The public (government) hospitals are free. Find something like that in the States.
It's not that easy. They are government owned vehicles. If they ever decide to part with them it would probably be by auction. And there are many of them spread all over the country. I attended one such auction a few years back and the final sales prices on many vehicles was low.
