> Most Americans ... endure what I would generously call apathetic care from their medical providers.
I call BS with "most Americans" or "apathetic care". Feel free if you want to share your anecdote. My personal experience and those I know though, is that the care is top notch. Cutting edge treatment? well I don't know, I was lucky not needing any of that. It's also probably more expensive compared to other countries. However our of pocket pay is very reasonable, and the level of care is excellent.
