I agree. No one should ever go to an American hospital if it can be avoided. American hospitals are some of the worst anywhere in the world.
It depends which hospital you use in the States. It depends on your health insurance - if you have one - and otherwise on your wallet.
There are many countries in this world which hospitals are much worse than in USA, this is for sure.
However it is true that any medical care you need in the States is seriously overpriced compared with the rest of the world. Same with legal fees.
USA in this sense is a mess, a rip-off.
No, the US hospitals and doctors are legitimately the worst.
1. I had them lose expensive test results at the office I had them done
2. I had doctors lose the test results at the offices they were to be sent
3. I had doctors that chose not to read anything or look at anything
4. I had doctors who did the wrong thing because they don't listen and don't read
5. I had to wait 2-4 hours at some doctors
6. People need to wait 2-6 weeks to do anything
7. Doctors prescribed medicine that insurance wouldn't cover so the pharmacy had to call and get it modified
8. US doctors won't prescribe anything that's a hormone but foreign doctors would be willing to prescribe hormones. The only doctors that will prescribe hormones do so for diabetics (insulin), guys with no balls (testicular cancer survivors), and transgenders (honestly, WTF! So people of the opposite gender can get hormones to try to mimic another gender...but real biological men can't get hormones to grow their dick bigger and real biological females can't get hormones to grow bigger tops, and shorter people can't get hormones to grow taller. It's honestly stupid!)
9. US hospital are trashy. I have seen hospitals in other nations. The United States hospitals are terrible, cheap, dimly lit in many areas, and setup inhumanely
10. I have no intention of receiving the worst healthcare possible in a supposed first world nation that is actually a "shit hole" nation when it comes to healthcare quality for anyone who isn't rich. The terrible state of the US healthcare system is why it's been overwhelmed by COVID-19 and why Americans are dying the most. The United States healthcare system is essentially a legalized racketeering operation.
