Only in terms of cost and insurance, which is obviously a huge deal. The actual medical experience is really good. They’re very fast and very skilled doctors.
I did a little digging once when I was in an argument with someone. Per capita the US government spends (from memory) like $600 per person on healthcare per year. For only like $50 more per person, per year, Australia provides universal healthcare and enormously subsidised medication - insulin for example is $30/script for high income earners and $6 a script for low income / retirees, and if you spend >$500 a year on medication, everything is free after that.
Still don’t have a decent healthcare system either. So yeah, that tracks.

Until you need a specialist, then your sol. My wife was in Portland and had to wait three months for an in network dermatologist. It all depends.
Still don’t require paying a living wage either. So yeah, that tracks.
But hey, we’re #1 in school shootings and military spending!
(cough and a lot of other stuff)

That’s one thing I’m grateful for here in Australia, our healthcare. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty good.
In addition, the USA spends about 17.5% of GDP on healthcare whereas the UK spends about 9.5%
