My experience has been the exact opposite. America's healthcare business ruined my life. As a result I have no insurance and have lost the "privilege" to BUY said American healthcare. I struggle with low income options and programs, all insufficient. The only good care I ever got was in Europe. My experiences with social hospitals and doctors was much better than in the USA where it counts. Places weren't often as fancy looking, but the care was superb. Even the private systems in those countries was far more affordable. a few hundred for an MRI etc rather than a few thousand.
Healthcare and education in America can bankrupt you. That isn't something people in countries with social options have to fear...despite any drawbacks since no place is perfect. I don't know if Americans who are so opposed to doing things like the rest of the first world just need to believe it's always better here so they ignore the benefits...or if they just haven't had to face this issue personally and are incapable of caring until they do. But I do know I had a future and now I do not...and there is no net to catch me or care. Whenever I see comments like yours I just get so upset realizing how it's an unwinnable battle in this country because of these ingrained beliefs.
