If you have good insurance, I can't imagine the US not being top of the heap.
I had an injury that resulted in a spinal fusion and other surgery at 25. Total out of pocket cost for about $250k of care and full recovery was about $500. That included second opinion visits to top doctors in Boston & NYC.
If you're on limited network Obamacare with high deductibles and HMO bullshit, good luck.
There are no individual PPO plans for my area (Austin, Texas), so I was stuck with HMO for 2016. This applies to about 330,000 people in Texas who had their individual PPO plans cancelled. So as far as I can tell, it is actually impossible to get "good insurance" (a PPO plan) here, as an individual.
