I've lived with Swedish, German and now Czech healthcare in addition to American (with very good health insurance). I'd choose any of them over the American system. I find other Americans' fear of change to such a terrible and expensive system very confusing.

Similar. UK, then Australia, now the US.

With "platinum" healthcare, my out of pocket for dealing with an (admittedly complex) kidney stone was $8,000.

For nine days hospital stay for gout (oof) in Australia, I paid $38 out of pocket... because I wanted premium TV channels.
