Back when my son had some kidney problems, the wait in the States would have been 72 days to see a specialist. In the lousy Hungarian public system, he saw a specialist the week we arrived. (Dual citizenship hath its privileges.)

Later, we lived in Puerto Rico, also cursed with a public healthcare system that had us in a specialist's office in two weeks.

We're in the US proper now (the real estate is just so damned cheap here and the school system is good for both our kids at the moment) but the lack of working health care will probably drive us out again in a couple of years.

The only people who think US health care is good are people who have never experienced any other system.
