USA: if you are well off and have good coverage you will be treated promptly and by a quality system at astronomical prices which is reflected in the insurance premiums. If you are poor you are in a bad position.
Europe: Everyone is covered but the doctors decide who is more urgent and you may have to wait for a while and then frustratingly be postponed. The overall cost of procedures is generally much lower. private insurance and clinics is still an option for those who do not want to wait.
