Yes, an American degree will be treated as equal to a British one, but can you afford it?

It doesn't make sense to do an undergraduate degree in the States and then grad medicine in the UK. If you know you want to be a doctor then you should focus on applying for medicine. Graduate entry medicine is much more competitive than the standard 5 year medicine degree.
