I’m a Canadian currently living in Portugal. Canadians have been lied to regarding healthcare and it’s quality for way too long. In Portugal I can schedule any specialist doctor visit in a matter of days in advance all online via Calendly like interface. I don’t need to wait for family doctor approval. I can also go and run a lab panel at will, at many locations throughout the city. No dr referenced needed. Costs like 5-10 euros per lab without insurance. When I went to see a dr, he actually spent time talking to me one on one for the full half hour allotted. No rushing. In Canada doctor would run in and out in minutes quickly just dishing out some prescription or a lab. I felt like I was just an item on a conveyor belt.
