To be fair, I can share an appalling story of how Canadian healthcare abused my son for more than a year, and how it wasn't until we started making plans to move to the US that we saw much better care (in the US).

- jasonlotito 12y agoI told my story many times. I'll give the short version. My son got an initial diagnosis of autism as 18 months while living in Quebec. Despite laws stating otherwise, after a year of waiting (and being flat out lied to and dealing with gross negligence), we'd had enough and moved to the US, where we were able to start getting care faster than it took to get our stuff moved down here, all at no cost. In Canada, the wait time was over 3 years for public care, and going the private route was still a 1 1/2 year wait at a cost of $30k+ a year. In the end, I'm left with the knowledge that I trusted in the Canadian Healthcare system for over a year, and the price was putting off my son's early intervention. My younger son (also autistic) received care at 18 months, and is doing much better. To this day, I still can't share this without getting really angry at all they did, or didn't do.
