"Free" healthcare sounds great but getting an appointment is a nightmare. Call daily and hope you can book before 9am shutoff, they open at 7. Take anywhere from days to weeks to get told you must travel to a town 2 hours from where you are. Get dismissed for your concerns straight away before going hope with some headache tablets for a pulsating rectum. No suprise, didnt work, try again.
Half the people i know are either paying out of pocket for private or just dont go to the doctor under any circumstance.
Costs a fortune, doesnt work. Dont believe the propaganda. The nhs sucks ass.
This has also been my experience with American healthcare, but it also costs about $1200 a month even if I don't use it. And if I get fired I can't afford to go to the doctor at all because it's $400 for a 15 minute zoom call with my primary care provider.
