but I'm appalled by what some US citizens call a 'health care system'



I doubt it's the health care system that bothers you: I suspect that paying for services rendered is the annoyance. It's the idea that health care costs money, just like everything else in life, that is hard to grasp for those who live in Europe (and pay European tax rates).

PS. The only medical system that might offer the same breadth and capabilities as found in the US is perhaps France.
