We've used the healthcare in France. Best I've ever seen. No amount of money in America can buy you healthcare like you get in a little, rural village in France.
Maybe, maybe not... Concierge primary card docs might be the closest. I have one for a client.
Walk straight in, good, quality diagnosis from the WHO's top rated health system. Nearly instant health care and nearly instant pharmaceutical availability. All for free. It's amazing. The degree to which the US has bad health care is so extreme that if you've not used other countries' programs it is really hard to understand how good healthcare can be.
This, so hard, this. I HAVE made use of healthcare in Japan for my daughter. I admit, that we get off cheap when the family goes back because I do not exist in Japan's systems in any form. So my wife has to pay a very minimal monthly tax to the city office to get all benefits of a normal resident.
Regardless of the monthly tax owed, the fee for children's services are almost 100% reimbursed. The rest of their system is basically a nation wide 70/30 plan. Residents (who are current on their taxes) pay 30% for most services.
