Canada

Canadian in the UK here. It's a disaster.

The NHS is treated like "medical for the poors". If you can afford it, you get private cover and get treated faster by the same doctors sometimes even in the same hospitals.

So you get the same American bullshit: "sorry, that hospital is out of network" and "if your insurance deems this scan to be uncovered, you'll be liable for a £12k fee. Sign here." with the added bonus that tonnes of public money is sunk into a national system that's being parasitised by private interests.

That alone would be bad enough, but the above model also ensures that support for spending on the NHS isn't as politically attractive, because those with the money have a "fuck you, I got mine" mentality thanks to the private option.

If you want a healthy national health care system, the rich and upper class need to be standing in line with the poor for their health care.
