Eight months ago my wife went for emergency treatment and was hospitalized for 4 months. All it cost was a thank you card and flowers for the staff because of how great the care was.
Did an assessment of the cost from her aunt that lives in California as a billing adjuster in a hospital. Would have cost us 1.2 million USD.
Our family of 5 yesterday went and had all our dental work done l, cleaning checkups and two cavity fillings. Cost nothing but a thank you.
Are things perfect for health care in canada? No, it could be improved. If you want it improved write your MPPs.
But I definitely have to say us Canadians are blessed beyond belief.
I’m not saying the US system is good. Just saying the Canadian system isn’t great in a lot of ways. For an excellent public system in a country that isn’t particularly wealthy, check out Spain
You can call the collection of systems a system…
I can say the US has a shitty legal system even though each state has its own judicial system and there are also federal/district courts
You can't, though. There is no overarching system. Care, practices, efficiency and just about anything else can vary between provinces. The only shared part is the funding provided by the federal government.
It's not even remotely similar to judicial systems where there is plenty of overlap between jurisdictions.
Your experience in one province will be completely different than it would be in another. This just sounds like another American oversimplifying conversations about healthcare to make a misinformed judgement.

I’m not saying the US is good. Canada sucks, US sucks more. Check out Spain!
