I lived in both Cyprus and Uganda, and while the health care in both countries did not match the technological level we 'enjoy' in the States, we had ACCESS to care.

The physicians and nurses were committed and took their time; treatments were simple but they WORKED. Our cluster of problems included typhoid, a broken arm, a torn meniscus in the knee, a sprained ankle, a psychotic break (not mine), staph infections, giarrdia, asthma, a dental crown, a fractured front tooth, orthodontics, a badly cut finger... you get the idea.
We did not have ONE negative experience.

When we returned to the States, we had trouble getting insurance coverage (until one of us was employed full time), and the fragmented approach to diagnosis and treatment, not to mention the reliance on the very technology we 'enjoy', has resulted in major delays in getting some serious health issues under control.

Peoplel used to pity us for taking our family to places 'where there is little or no health care'. It's been a nightmare coming back.

Needless to say, I liked the proposal and will likely write my congress-people with the suggestion.
