That may have been true 10 years ago. A lot of rest of the world has caught up and is now surpassing the USA in healthcare and medical facilities. Medical tourism is beyond huge, and growing fast. Of course there are some medical issues the USA excels at, but general healthcare is
much better abroad now, and usually
much cheaper. It's also not uncommon to find excellent US doctors working overseas as they are also fed up with the current system.
But you are correct about there being no easy fix.
