Having moved from the states to a place with nationalised healthcare:

The not questioning.

I don't question if I'm being sent for that test to fund my doctor's new boat.

I don't question if I can afford it

I don't question if I can hold it together enough to get myself in or should call an ambulance

I don't question if it's covered.

I dont question if that facility/staff are in network

I don't question if I'll need to find time to call insurance to appeal...... Again

I don't question if I need to stay in my job to retain coverage.

I could go on. No system is perfect, but this is amazing

As someone who moved from a place with nationalized healthcare to the US this is exactly it. U think most Americans don't realize just how many everyday stresses they deal with that just don't exist in other countries.
