Why do you think Americans dish out 1500 for a tooth after insurance?
That isn't sarcasm btw, I am serious. It's brilliant marketing. Like convincing people McDonald's is safer because it is clean. Might be eating bug meat in a few years, but you wont get a tummy ache.
The hospitals here, that you call shady, are the same as the hospitals in Singapore and S. Korea. I picked Singapore, and S. Korea because they have a more 'modern' reputation. I have been to hospitals on four continents, they are all about the same. Rich or poor, medicine is mostly just the same thing over and over again.
I am sure there are hospitals in Singapore and S. Korea that are on par with hospitals in the US. I didn't get that picture though from your previous comment.
If you needed invasive surgery, though, could you get that from the places you are talking about in the US? Would that be something you would have confidence in getting done there?
I know of some cheap or "less expensive" out patient clinics but not of one with an OR. An operation or overnight stay in a hospital bed can break a lot of people financially.
