The only doctors I've had good experience with are small building docs instead of hospital ones. The kind who offer things like in house "pay us 100$ a month for your family to have unlimited visits" insurance. A business whose entire operation can go bankrupt if they get low trust, so they actually operate as humans trying to make this work instead of invincible egoists whose paycheck is guaranteed.
Heck, my wife had been having a severe hip problem and after years of "real doctors" basically throwing their hands up, our guy just decided enough was enough and started spamming surgeons until we found one who'd get it done and then wrote something that classified it into something insurance would cover.
Like most things in America, the turning of a profession from a literal thing someone did into a giant corporation and detaching it from being a guy you know into a faceless entity has destroy basically any value it once had. And at the heart of that is the government fucking with something that started the whole process, as always.
Government involvement is the problem across both systems.
The benefit to ours still is that I have that option to go find someone still under the banner of capitalism to fulfill my needs and keeping their prices affordable, instead of having zero options beyond "ultra premium private in another country" like the socialized do.

The same problems happen in socialized healthcare systems.
