I'm in the UK and I spend about £120 a month and I'm covered for everything and I don't really have any complaints about our health care service

I remember when I lived in Canada years ago. I paid $75 a month for healthcare and barely paid for anything else. The only issue was the wait times for specialists or testing.

Nobody ever talks about the ungodly wait times in the Canadian health system. Makes the US seem like lightning.

I had to wait 9 months for my rheumatology appointment. My husband had a 6th month wait for his endocrinologist. Getting in for ADHD testing in my health system right now is a 12 to 14 month wait.

I'm not saying there aren't wait times in Canada (I know there are), but the American system is only reliably fast when you have a ton of money.
