US Medical Care
Not in every area, but most. It's a real eye opener when, like you, a person begins research into medical information from a world-wide point of view; just wanting to become educated as a patient.
We take our doctor's word as truth for so many things in the US, when in reality, in terms of healthcare, we are way behind many parts of the world.
I was shocked when I began my research many years ago.
