Just wanted to throw out there that healthcare in the USA is criminally bad. There are some good doctors here but the way insurance works is literally criminal in my opinion. If you are poor enough to qualify for state insurance you can pretty much forget it as the limited number of participating doctors are not only horrible at what they do but don't function like normal doctors offices. You can't get anything done without an appointment that takes over a month. The staff at these places are unskilled randos so they can pay them less and they constantly make huge mistakes. The hospitals price gouge you to death which in turn drives up insurance costs. An entire bottle of Tylenol costs Around 5 dollars but they will charge you 75 dollars for a single tablet. When I had my knee surgery they charged over 100 dollars for the plastic tray they brought the razor in on to shave my knee. No joke. An EKG takes literally less than 5 minutes and they charge 200 dollars. This is why we can't have nice things!
The USA is supposed to be the richest country in the world but can't take care of its people properly. I should say they WONT take care of them. To buy healthcare through your employer costs around 300 a paycheck. And then you have deductables to pay before your insurance even kicks in as well as copays. It's a bad joke. Just criminal.
