Sorry about your ear problems. That sounds bad and a terrible thing to live with.

The US heathcare systems have many problems as you pointed out. I also am well aware of them as I lived there for 30 years both with and without insurance. The only thing that I can give is my lived experience in both systems. The problems that you pointed out among many others exist in most health care systems globally. Despite and including these problems in my experience the US still gives better care. That may be hard to hear (no pun intended) but the grass is not always greener.

Now don't get me wrong. I prefer the system here in Germany but not because it's better, but because it is available to everyone. People here don't go bankrupt with medical debt like in the US.
