Consider moving to a country with a healthcare system?

The US has a healthcare industry, its main purpose is to maximize profit. This leads to a very dangerous distortion of priorities which distortion is institutionalized. Doctors and everyone else have to work within these limitations which puts any patient at a serious disadvantage.

I have a serious problem and I need concrete advice, not broad generalizations about the politics of healthcare. My health situation is complex, and I have seen some very good doctors, but they can't justify spending the time and effort needed to cure just one patient. I need actionable steps that I can take.

I appreciate the reply and your correction. Apologies if my entry sounded inappropriate.

I was speaking from experience — a friend, EU expat in the US hat to return to his European country to get adequate treatment. But in his case money was a major obstacle in the US.

I wish you best outcome and a quick recovery.

Nowhere in the OP is his country even mentioned.
