While USA has decent healthcare for surgery, etc... it is more focused on treatment rather than prevention. USA doctors are pawns of the pharmaceutical industry (they are basically taught that their is a pill for everything when we shouldn't even be taking these pills due to side effects). Sure there are doctors in the USA that try to explain to the patient that diet, exercise, etc.. are very important in preventing diseases/possibly curing them (at least to the point where no prescription drugs are needed). However, most are willing to fill out a prescription for the patient and send them on their merry way without addressing the real problem (keep them coming back for more prescription when their main focus should be keeping the patient healthy and away). That is one of my main issues with the way we address health in the USA. While the main issue for his digestive issues were probably his diet, it has now come to the point of surgery to correct the problem. The problem could have been addressed earlier with less cost.
Also, the cost (especially if you are uninsured) are ridiculous in the USA. They overcharge for almost anything if you go to the hospital.
