"We have good insurance" - there is your answer.
More importantly, the US system is not an example of a private medicine system that delivers good value. Many do though. France, Germany, Australia etc all have insurance based systems which deliver great outcomes and good service…

‘Just got my son’s hospital and NICU bill. It cost him $42,347.36 to be born! Thankfully we have good insurance — we only owe $1,059.90.’
This will be the UK soon.

It’s arguable if Australia’s Medicare is truely “insurance based”. Employees pay a Medicare levy of only 2%.
It *is* vastly superior to the NHS in terms of primary care patient experience. GP too rude or busy to see you? Go to another one, anywhere in the country, no problem.

Having lived in Australia for 9 years I agree, their system is fantastic, and so much better than the NHS. My mother lives in France and raves about how good healthcare is there as well.
