Kinda flabbergasted it ranks that high.
If you have decent insurance, it's ok. The problem is it either ties you to your job and/or is very expensive. People fall through the cracks.
The US contains some of the best cancer research centers in the world, most of which are non profits. On top of this you genuinely can buy the best care if you can afford it, as top talent across the world go to the US to get rich if they've lost all their morals.
It's just everyone except the super rich and people with rare cancers that might someday affect rich people that can't get care without bankruptcy and have to use enshittified hospitals.
alot of that talent in stem research comes from people immigrating here too, now that is being threatened i suspect they will go to EU, australia for thier work. i cant say the same for people going through school to TRYING to get into he field(which is a different set of problems)
