Same. Forced to get insurance through state exchange, premiums over $1,000/mo for two people. Very hard to find a doctor that accepted the insurance. And that was in a major US city. Every test and procedure requires a referral to a specialist, and the game of “do you take this insurance?” repeats. Then you get referred to diagnostic labs with long wait times (sometimes months) and they want payment up front and may not accept your insurance.

That process seems worse in every respect compared to my experience in SE Asia, and the US does not have better outcomes to justify the much higher costs.
