I am _very_ happy with how medicine works here, with the sole exception that prescriptions are not part of the base medical that we all get. (You do get coverage if you qualify financially, but it's a really bad system based on what you earned two years ago.) My employer provides supplemental insurance that _does_ cover prescriptions, but I was here for a long time here without that coverage. The good part of all this, however, is that while doctors are encouraged to use generics and others in the formulary (approved list), it's quite a large list and with several different choices within types. And when the doctor determines that you need something outside that formulary, s/he simply fills out the justification and you get it, and get it covered. (My doctor has macros for the justifications on key medicines, including my combination inhaler that is both bronchodialator and steroid.)
