this is going to cause an a flame war i know it, but i have to say this. Yes the u.S. is fucked up in health care, and there are other countries with better health care systems. But if it wasn't for the for-profit system in the U.S. most of the major breakthrus in medical treatment (most notably the high tech stuff) would have never happened. As fucked up the U.S. system is, it creates competition and we all know that competition is the best fuel for innovation. Innovation in health care usually means better health care (at higher costs though). So everyone in those foreign countries saying 'i wont go to the u.s. blah blah blah' without the u.s. your doctors might still be using high radiation poor imaging x ray machines.
