It is actually amazing how well our healthcare system does with our terribly unhealthy population.
Our healthcare system is good for our ‘healthy’ and insured citizens. However if you have a loved one that ever suffers something terrible like a serious stroke, you will began to realize how our system can be truly shitty. To have a really good doctor tell you that your loved one can get better with time and the right treatment but their insurance simply won’t foot the bill is heart breaking. I’ll go ahead and accept the downvotes from those of you that fortunately haven’t experienced this.

Our system is actually well-designed for exactly those situations. Measured treatment quality for events like strokes are terrific in the United States compared to virtually every other OECD country.
If American insurance is telling you it's too expensive given the risk profile, history, necessary treatment, and all that, other OECD systems would definitely tell you to take a hike.

So how do you even know what a good system looks like? Have you ever experienced the healthcare system in other countries?
