> is this the supposedly high quality treatment that U.S. citizens get that is so much more expensive as opposed to the „socialized“ insurance we get in Europe
I am an American who has lived in several countries and had experience several medical systems.
The US has the best care… if you have access to it. This access can be limited by geography, insurance, money, awareness of the specific doctor, etc.
In a random provincial area with no university medical school nearby, the treatment will often be quite sketchy.
In other countries I’ve lived in, the best medical care was still in the large cities, but the standard in provincial areas was to a much higher standard (imho) than in provincial areas in the US.
