Although I think the healthcare system needs a lot of work here, I think that if you are one of the lucky few to have good health insurance and live in a big city, it is pretty good. I recently got awesome health insurance since my wife is now working for a big corporation. I went from paying $450/month (cheapest health insurance I could find in NYC) for insurance that had $7000 deductible to have a really low deductible with a good company that all doctors want to be in.
I needed a gastro appointment and got it within 3 days, in the next week I have an endoscopy scheduled, thigns move fast... this is in NYC, I tried to get an appointment upstate and was at least 3 weeks wait.
