Hospitals: Japan vs America

This past week I got sick and I needed to go see a doctor, in America I would have gone to either my primary doctor or an urgent care center. Since I was in Japan I went to the hospital (which is set up similar to an urgent care in America).
It was such a efficient process, it only took about an hour to see the doctor and then get my medicine (even though I didn't speak any Japanese) - in America it would have taken 3 hours for the actual visit and then another hour to get your medicine. Plus, it was so much more affordable.
Being sick in Japan is fairly easy because you don't have to spend much time or money on a visit to the doctor!
What do you think of going to the doctor in America?
