Every other developed country is not way better than the US at healthcare. Cost in the US are high but there is also quality and availability, which the US ranks very high in.

Just as an anecdote, I had to go to an ENT in the US. I was discouraged that it took 12 days. Meanwhile I learned that a friend in the UK had to wait 4 months. Imagine being in pain and misery for weeks with no solution and being told you have to wait 4 months before someone can evaluate you.

I'll take 12 days and a $40 copays 10/10 times.
