In all honesty, just about anything would be an improvement. There's a crisis of sorts in American health care.

I'm fair sure that 5,000 Americans per year don't die of diseases they catch in hospital. The lawyers would have a field day.

Perhaps not, but being scared to even go to the hospital due to fees is in itself detrimental.

The problem in the USA is that different states provide different levels of care
and at different ages although they do have Medicare for qualifying residents over 65
And they still have to pay some of the bill.
But in the USA taxes and housing costs are lower then here. Taxes are higher in France and their system is supposed to be pretty good

Research shows that poorer people do go to Canada for treatment and some richer Canadians go to America
