Don’t have fertility issues but was browsing my coverage for some other stuff and went down a rabbit hole. I have really really good health insurance that is probably better than 99% of Americans so I’m sure it’s true for everyone else. This is honestly super sad considering I have several coworkers that battled with infertility and spend THOUSANDS of dollars out of pocket to finally have their children. But they’ll pay for you to mutilate your body and even fly you to have the procedure done. Unbelievable.

Not many pedes know, but in European countries there is also private healthcare (in addition to the socialized one). Private healthcare in Europe tends to be much cheaper than in the US.
Americans are seriously ripped off by their healthcare system.
People with unlimited money get better healthcare in the US, that is true.
But as the 99% of us have budget constraints, this is not useful to understand who is better off.
Except for the fact you're actually getting top of the line care in the US. Going to another country for a procedure seems insane to me from a safety perspective. Sure as hell wouldn't go to the EU for one as an American. They purposely collapsed and turned their Healthcare into a joke socializing it.
