No Healthcare is "free" you pay for it one way or another, through taxes etc. I live in Canada. What are the good things?
I choose which doctors I see, which hospitals I want to go to.
Wait times. My family doctor doesn't have appointments. I just walk in when I want to see him. I see him within 10 minutes to an hour.
Wait times can be on the long side for some specialists...BUT if your doctor feels you need to see them quickly, you can see them in a few days. If it is an emergency, you see them immediately.
I could not imagine worrying about a sickness or injury and wondering if healthcare will pay for it or not. I get the same healthcare as the billionaire and the same as the dirt poor guy.
I found a lump in my breast once. Saw my doctor that day, had an ultrasound within an hour. Had an appointment for a mamogram the next morning, a surgeon the next afternoon and I had surgery 2 days later. Both of my parents died of cancer and they both received amazing care. No complaints.
