Yes. This is a great deal for about 100 million people in the US.
Here's why. Many people in the US, like myself, have no health insurance or what is made available to us has a very high annual deductible. ($6000/yr in the case of my insurance).
After paying 28 years of premiums as a young healthy adult, as I turn 50, the rules all change and I'm effectively left to my own devices to find health care services. To Illustrate; let's say I've come down with a sinus infection (4th time in my life. - I recognize the symptoms) and I need to get a prescription for an antibiotic. This is a trivial medical problem, that in other countries might involve $10 and 30 minutes. In the US, we have very limited options and the terms and conditions to access specific health services often change annually. First task is to find someone who will treat you given your insurance plan. You may have to travel to the next city to find a doctor who will take your insurance. If you do not have insurance and no cash on hand for one of the for-profit private urgent care clinics, you may only get seen if your life is in immediate danger at an Emergency Clinic. In the case of my insurance plan, which very few providers accept, success is when it only takes 1-3 weeks to get a 20 minute appointment with a doctor you've never seen before in the middle of a work day. Before receiving any treatment for anything, at each new clinic one has to fill out a lengthy health questionnaire (entire life's health history from memory including dates, medications and dosages). The entire last page of the health form is a release that you must initial and sign, allowing all US insurance companies and the US government access to these records. Doctors will not treat you if you do not sign. I've tried. We all know this information can and will be used in the future to deny insurance claims as most individual health insurance plans in the US exclude coverage for "pre-existing conditions". Additionally, failing to document a treatment received 20+ years earlier, for example; acne, on any form may allow the insurance company to deny all coverage when your bills come due because you 'falsified' your application forms. You don't own any of your medical records (seems like "work for hire" to me) and you often can't get them from previous providers without another doctor requesting them. No one in the US really knows if the insurance they pay for actually covers them until the bills hit. "Medical bankruptcy" is common in the US.
Conversely, I'll be able to go down to Rite-Aid, talk for 5 minutes for free to the gate keeper nurse, she determines that you have a simple problem that a prescription can solve and that you can pay for it. The doctor gets on-line, asks you if you are allergic to any medication then she writes a prescription for a nicely profitable brand-name antibiotic and sends it right to the store, ready for pick up in 15 minutes. This visit will likely take no phone calls, one car trip, cost less than $100 out-of-pocket without a loss of a half day at work and treatment beings within the hour. This is how "the best health care system in the world" currently operates.
