I am not American, I live in EU and have experienced our healthcare system. We pay a lot for it but once I needed it for surgery, had to wait 6 months. We all have different experiences, that I admit. It would be fair if we all got the Brutto amount of our paycheck and then have an option what services to use and when.

But it's also true I'm not waiting for a knee replacement or something like that. For knees, I heard people are wait for years.
It's not all flowers but so far I had no issues with them and I had broken bones and some kidney and abdominal issues. Everything went smoothly without much waiting.
What I admit is a total disaster is a psychological help. They really stuck in the 80s era.
