Someone told me this a few years back and it stuck with me.
"American healthcare is the best in the world like sportscars- Ferrari, Lamborghini, BMW, Bugatti, etc. are the best cars in the world. Surely they both are the bests in the world- but only for the small percentage of people that can actually afford them."
This is sad.
(Many, including me, wouldn't buy a sportscar even if they could afford one, and sportscars aren't the "best" in their opinion. But this comparison drives the point home.)
