Health care for the average American SUCKS. In fact it was recently revealed that even for the Wealthy it SUCKS. That is why they are flying to France, ala Charlie Rose, to have serious procedures done. Blame GREED, from pharmaceuticals, insurance companies, hospitals, AMA, and just plain inertia. I've got so many stories, (confidential of course, to protect the corpses!), of patients allowed just 15 minutes, while the provider is reading the wrong chart and RANTING that "STRESS DOES NOT KILL", while not following-up, and providing the wrong medication! Oh boy, WE'VE GOT IT GOOD!
