My own recent experiences leave me feeling that they've got better systems than ours, if only just for that reason. I appreciate the extreme difficulty of your situation but cases like yours could be obviated without up-ending the whole system. It would be relatively simple to set up either a government program to cover them or force insurance companies to create an assigned risk program or some such. You don't disrupt the ninety some percent for the few. It makes no system sense. They do not suffer from the stress of worrying about how to pay medical bills. That's a plus. Your pet plus. And then there are the rest of the pluses and minuses... Consider also that there are plenty of stories about people adversely affected by various aspects of our healthcare system, too. Indeed. Much to be weighed.
