an anecdote:
>mother has cancer
>needs scan too find tumors
>german scan still in FDA approval period
>can get scan but it isn't covered
>shell out 5k for scan
>year passes
>scan passes FDA regulation
>scan now costs over 20k
the politicians who support "free" healthcare are funded by pharmaceutical corps. it has nothing to do with healthcare its about cash flow

Yep.

As a 'free healthcare' country there are month long waits to get an appointment to see a GP. There are 18 hour waits to get into hospital.

It costs you at least $30 per appointment, not including the cost for medication, and if you need an operation or something you will be on a year long wait to get seen by a specialist.

It's fucking third world here. Don't fall for the fucking bullshit

You forgot to mention how we're penalised and taxed harder if we don't get private health insurance on top of our "free" healthcare.

The standard of care, wait times, availability of procedures/drugs, choice of doctor and many other things vary wildly between "free" and "private" healthcare coverage

Well Canada hates paying for older or mentally ill citizens healthcare so much they are now propagandizing them to kill themselves with MAID. You will see that in Europe too but doubt you'll ever see it in the US because they can profit. Yeah sounds fucked up but it avoids an indoctrination campaign of state mass murder

Truth. My grandmother had a hip problem (fractured?); UK NHS wait was 8 months to see a specialist.

>pay more tax for a shittier service

Public hospitals in Australia and the UK are fucking atrocious, so even in countries with "universal healthcare" you still have to pay to go to a private hospital if you actually want your problem fixed.

Otherwise you will spend 14 hours in the emergency waiting area before being given regular paracetamol and sent home
