Best wishes for your father's recovery PL.
As to quality medical care? Bad things happen in hospitals so avoid them like the plague IMO. Surgery as an absolute last resort. (wifey is a Radiologic Technologist) The medical industry is built around treatment for trauma, treatment for symptoms, and medication. They don't do prevention or cure very well. As a society we have fallen off a cliff in the prevention and cure department.
What should we do? Eat right (whole foods with lots of greens instead of fast food/packaged food/processed food), lots of exercise (walk 3 miles/day or equivalent), avoid soft drinks/energy drinks (diabetes in a can), avoid prescription drugs whenever possible (too many negative side effects), sleep 8 hrs/day, enjoy life. If we do these things we move towards good health and prevention of disease. Then Obamacare, prescription drugs and hospitals become far less important.
