I have employer provided health insurance. I'm an immigrant from India and routinely postpone non urgent care to my annual trips there. One does need pointers to good clinics. I get great care at low cost. With none of the bureaucracy and arrogance I see in my adopted country unfortunately. When I get my additional blood tests, I never have the blue bruise that I usually get here at Quest or LabCorp. This year I'm going to get a wisdom tooth extracted. My amazing family doctor answers questions on Whatsapp for a very nominal fee.
Healthcare in the United States is broken. Avaricious profit mentality from all the players broke it. We need to vote for leaders who are not on the payroll of these players, to fix this very serious problem. I don't have much hope. Even educated people as on HN keep quoting the same tired capitalist propaganda.

The rest of the world just shakes its head at the US healthcare system.
Powerful forces keep it as it is -- and people seem to buy the stupid communism/socialist crap that they pedal and soak it up hook line and sinker.

Gave up trying to understand why.
