You ever needed surgery? Ever tried to use healthcare for anything non trivial or not immediately urgent?
I've lived in BC and Alberta. Things take years in BC, maybe a single year in Alberta, and days to weeks in Europe...
We pay into Canadian healthcare but use EU healthcare (while paying more out of pocket)...

I've lived in both Canada and US and to be honest, I never found it was much better in the US for how much you pay, and for which so many people simply can't even afford it. With the exception being urgent care and routine things definitely have less wait time in the US. But most major thing seem comparable, like maybe a little faster in the US, but like I said not to the proportion of how much more you pay. And the treatment itself, quality, how you are cared for, basically the same. I'm glad to hear it's better in Europe!
- idiotsecant 1y agoYou know how long it takes if you can't pay in the US? Infinity years.
