Hello, Canadians of Lemmy! Down in the USA there is a lot of conflicting information regarding the efficacy of y’alls healthcare systems. Without revealing my personal bias, I was hoping for some anecdotes or summaries from those whom actually live there.
Well, I wish I didn’t have to pay for prescriptions or dental, even if my insurance covers most of it (and there are programs if you have none). Things could be better. Not nearly enough family doctors and wait times can be long if it’s not imminently life threatening. But I do get peace of mind knowing that no matter what an unexpected major surgery won’t financially hurt me.
All in all I look to the states and am thankful for what I have but we could be doing more.
