As someone from the U.S. who lived a considerable amount of time in Romania I can assure you that the doctors there are pretty well trained, at least in Bucharest where i lived. Would I want to have an operation in a little hospital somewhere in the Romanian countryside? No, but you shouldn't assume all places in Eastern Europe are "shitholes", you make yourself look like the foolish American the rest of the world hates
healthcare in the US is by no means the best in the world, but I understand you will never accept that, and that's fine, I know plenty of people who feel the same. Those people also tend to hang on to the false belief american universities provide the best education in the world.
There are plenty of advantages to living in America, but superior healthcare and education are not 2 of them. At best our medical care is on par with other countries, and as for education, our current educational standards are far below the rest of the world, including some of those "shithole" eastern european countries
I would be more than happy to go to germany and get the same medical help for a far lower price, but that's just me
