From my experience in Germany, getting a proper diagnosis is often the hard part; I think that may actually be easier in the USA, US doctors have clear economic incentive to diagnose you with something and either way a diagnosis is usually much cheaper than the treatment.
Plus, even if I knew my issues would be treated in another country, I’d have great difficulty migrating there - it’s a very specific subset of ill people who are desperate enough to migrate to a different country but still able enough, and wealthy enough, to actually go through with it.
From the perspective of health insurances, it depends; pills can be pretty cheap, but surgery is usually expensive. I don’t think psychotherapy comes cheap, either.

You might think but I bet the diagnosis in America is more expensive then the treatment somewhere else…
