I'm originally from Minnesota, where MAYO is based. Years ago they were stellar but more recently, from what I hear, not so much. Health-care in the U.S. is more profit driven than patient-care (IMO). To compare "here" from "there"---where people came from is unfair (also M.O.). It seems folks want their "there" to be "here" so my question might be, why did you move to a place you think is so terrible. People even complain about the governance, the food and more....though I digress!!

We've been here 15 yrs and have used the healthcare over the years. The last time(s) for us was the hospitals this past year and we experienced noticable improvements. We had life-threatening experiences but I would say, we're still here!! You'll find something negative no matter where you live!! Years ago, we moved to a little bedroom community to Madison, WI. They had a small community hospital. Many of the locals would tell us never to use that hospital but we did. We found it to be a better than good hospital. The large ones in the bigger city also had folks who'd had "bad" experiences.
