The US healthcare system is the best healthcare system ever created
In terms of technological advances, or maximizing wellness of the maximum people?
People of wealth travel from all over the world for access to the cutting edge techniques and treatments found in US institutions like mayo clinic and John Hopkins.
The problem is the cost and access is very uneven.
Yes, I would say that makes it bad.
Depends. Everything is a shade of gray.
The advances they come from this system spread across the world. Obviously it isn't the only way advances are made, and it doesn't justify the exploitation, but the world certainly benefits from American healthcare research. (Again not implying important advances only come from America)
I would not go to a practice named after mayonnaise
It's not,

If you choose based on a name, you'd be missing out on one of the best institutions on the planet
Best for who? Depending on your answer, you are unequivocally right.
If you equate most profitable with best, you may be a capitalist.
Except the money Americans are taxed gets invested in "Healthcare" only for them to receive no benefit from it. We actually get taxed more than some socialist/less capitalist countries.
