Some countries have been jumping so far ahead. IIRC Slovakia, Iceland have ultra lean administrative processes in lots of places. Minutes instead of days or more, and non hassle. UK has some of that too.

France is starting.

Someone in the US should get funding for this. It's a 300M people's "market".

I highly recommend healthcare in Asia. In most asian countries, healthcare is pure market driven. Aka, most people are uninsured so there is no insurance bureaucracy. No contracts, no lawsuits. The reputation of service and doctors matters. Appointments for this afternoon? No problem, you got it.

American healthcare is what I would wish on my enemies.

All asian countries ? china ? japan ? india ?

Any book about their systems ?

Systems and prices vary between countries. No idea if there's a book but my experience in Indonesia, India and Vietnam was stellar. Working with a medical facility was as simple as doing something in a mall.

If you are going from America, you can't go wrong in any major Asian country. India has the benefit of having English speaking doctors.

Who is they? And define quality control.

QC = not dying, not having more side effects ..
