We were talking to this guy who was Canadian, and he said healthcare in Canada is garbage.

The only reason why people say it's good is because it is free.
But like people say, long waiting times, which are not good, especially if you need a serious operation. |

"especially if you need a serious operation."
Not true though, any emergency situation is given priority and dealt with immediately
I would honestly say that the healthcare is pretty good. You just have to wait for annoying line ups at clinics and what not, but you don't have to worry about those ridiculously large medical bills. I think the entire problem is the access to healthcare, but not the healthcare itself |

Stay healthy. That's really all I can think of.

Wow. That's scary. |

I've heard the reason why healthcare is expensive here in the states is because of the insurance companies. I've heard of stories of people getting charged like $9,000 for a bandaid and stitches, because they had to pay for the people before and after them, or something of the like. |
