The main problems here in the US are access and affordability. Most doctors,

once you get in to see them, do their best to help. Some of them do make

mistakes; they are human.

 

What is scary is the way the pharmaceutical industries and the FDA are in

bed together: they are approving drugs fairly quickly, then finding out that

the drugs are killers. Another thing is that they seem to insist on

performing their own trials of many things that Europe or Asia have already

done trials on or been using without harm for a long time. Since many of the

Europeans seem to be healthier than we are, I think that may be a waste of

time and money that could go elsewhere. And I don't even want to get started

on prices for those drugs...

 

We also have a 2 tiered system: the rich or those with really comprehensive

insurance (nowadays synonymous) get seen and treated very quickly and can

pay for the best doctors, and the rest of us may or may not get treated

adequately. The only advantage to this that I can see is that a study came

out saying that people with money or good insurance tend to get

overtreated--unnecessary procedures, dangerous tests, etc. So sometimes, in

the US, it may actually be better to be poorer.
