America also has a huge number of passionate and outstanding craft chocolate-makers like Amano or Guittard. Also some poseurs like Mast Brothers or Dandelion Chocolate, unfortunately, but in most urban areas you have plenty of options other than Hershey's. I'd say the availability of good chocolate is probably better than in the UK from my personal experience in San Francisco and London, but then again SF is not incredibly representative of the US in general.
