One of the best things I ever did was to move to Switzerland. I don't know how anyone can claim that the quality of life in the US is high compared to over here. While a teenager in the US I broke my foot and with no insurance waited hours and hours for poor treatment at the hospital. In the end, my foot healed badly.
Fast forward to a few months ago when I had to go the emergency room here in Switzerland. There was no wait, several people cared for me, and it was very clean with the newest technology. With my mandatory Swiss health insurance I pay ten percent of everything which amounted to about 20 US dollars in that case. I am always telling my Swiss friends and colleagues that they live in paradise and don't even know it. For them it is normal that things work smoothly and well. And I daresay they consider good health care a human right.
I know it isn't probably feasible for you to move, but there must be a way to do better for one's self in the US. If I were to live there now, I honestly don't know what I would do. I might actually look to have myself insured in another country.
