France. Twice.
The first time, I was shocked at wait times to actually get an appointment. Weeks. It was worse than the VA. But I also had private insurance from my employer, which in those days was great.
That being said, the French have really compassionate doctors and staff. Also the cool thing is that their pharmacists are allowed to practice a limited amount of medicine, and will proscribe
In the interim, I noticed wait times for appointments back in the US increase further and further
The second time, wait times were the same, but much better than the US
American healthcare is declining rapidly
