“USA is very very good at complicated, cutting edge medical care” - i hear this but haven’t seen it in practice or in statistics. Everyone I know that has needed such things has had the same poor quality of care that primary care providers have - long waits, insurance issues and mediocre outcomes.

curious. what kind of statistics would that show up?

When i was looking into clinical trials for prostate cancer. almost 80% of experimental cutting edge medicine was in usa. They even have spl k2 visa for International patients to participate.

I suppose it’s semantics but i wouldn’t consider experimental research “medical care”.
