No, this side of it is definitely better in other countries. My late wife passed away of cancer a few years ago, we lived in Australia. She went through rounds of intensive treatment. We had private health insurance which kicked in, limiting our up-front costs. Not all was covered, but what wasn't covered was capped through public health care. It might have cost us $10k AUD, but not more. We spent little to no time worrying about paperwork and billing, it was almost all auto-handled for us.
