Well, i do think that everyone in the US is supposed to speak elementary English at least.
So you could make yourself understandable at the doctor's office, order something to eat, ask a neighbour for info or help at filling in forms or legal assistance.
Here in The Netherlands, anyone willing to become a citizen is required to learn Dutch. It is so, because many people come here, speak no Dutch or do not understand it. So may forms of confusion will come when you go to a doctor.
Isn't this the case in the US aswell?
