>>11426422>canadaWrong. The """health system""" is a huge meme and most of the things that are supposedly covered have huge caveats (for example, drugs are never covered except when administered or handed out as part of your visit to a doctor, which practically doesn't happen except during a surgery. Often you don't even get prescribed pain meds after surgery so you get to be in agony for the next few months). If you aren't a resident of cucknada (PR or better) you have to pay as much as you do in the states to be seen by a triage nurse (which, regardless of your status, you're only going to see after a 6+ hours wait time) as opposed to, e.g., in germany or UK. In fact, in the US, you can walk in, get seen and treated right away, and never pay: nobody cares. Much better than in cucknada.
Also, due to low wages and high relative cost of life, in cucknada, you can't really afford to take a sick day to go see the doctor for this.
