I have some relevant first-hand experience that corresponds very closely to TFA. My spouse is a U.S.-born and trained vascular surgeon and I'm a retired internal medicine specialist. We immigrated to Canada just ahead of the first administration of the current U.S. president. Her clinical autonomy is practically unconstrained by provincial health insurance issues. Her practice is very much like I remember it being in the early days of my own practice in the U.S. before physicians and surgeons became interchangeable widgets in what could be very generously called "the system." From my perspective as a patient, my care, including care for some rather complicated health issues has been extremely prompt and exemplary. I can almost always see my family physician the same day. While I do see a hefty tax bill, I never ever see bills from the doctor, the hospital, EOB's, statements of coverage, and other artifacts from "the system." And I don't have the cringey feeling of receiving a human right (health care) that others, because of misfortunes of life or an unfortunate starting point in life cannot access. Our health care is universal.
