> it'll translate to doctors seeing more patients.

This is also a good thing. Even in supposedly developed parts of the world like San Francisco it can be difficult to find a PCP that is taking new patients.

Where healthcare is concerned, America is not what anyone considers "first world". Your healthcare system is more backward than most third world nations. I would rather leave the US than receive medical treatment there. I have never even considered trusting the US healthcare system. When I lived there I would rather fly home and get treated (in a third world country) than lose all my savings getting inadequate care in the US. I know people who have been through large and expensive treatment plans in the global south, who paid less for the complete treatment than Americans pay for the ambulance getting you to the hospital.
