Yeah the quality of care and health outcomes among rich countries is pretty much the same across the board. Each country has specific areas they’re particularly good or bad in, but overall health outcomes are pretty much the same, including the US. We just wildly over pay for healthcare because we’ve defined our consumer to be individuals, which means they have no bargaining power. Normally this wouldn’t be too big of a problem if the industry had heavy price regulation, but we also don’t have that. If we switched to M4A, the consumer would become Medicare and bargaining power would go through the roof.
As someone who has lived here my whole life, you ain’t missing much. We have some beautiful wilderness and outdoor areas, but that’s about the only reason to visit here. There is beautiful wilderness in other places, too, we just have a whole lot of it. There is really no reason to live here, unless you are incredibly rich and want to take advantage of our non existent taxes for billionaires.

There are a lot of reasons I will never step foot in the USA.
