US🇺🇸 vs. Canada🇨🇦 Healthcare…Which one’s better?

In Canada you'll never have to worry about going bankrupt if you break your leg, but might wait a bit for it to get fixed!

This has lawyas been an ongoing debate about which Healthcare system is better, the US or Canada. Both have their good and bad. Having used both, my personal opinion is that you can't buy the kind of peace of mind free healthcare comes with, so I choose Canada. But which do you prefer?

No 🧢 I waited 3 hours in a emergency room with like 3 other people only 1 of the lady's were literally crying in pain, some homeless guy then walked up to her and said throw yourself on the floor they'll help you immediately never had so much respect for a junkie
Ps she did it and got immediate help

I'm a nurse in Canada and u wait so long in the room to see the doctor even I have gone snooping through the drawers and cupboards....my kids get so embarrassed 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦😂😂😂

I’d rather wait a hour and not be in financial debt

I live in Canada. I went to the ER with a compression fracture of two vertebrae in my spine after a serious accident. I couldn't take the pressure on my spine sitting down so I literally laid on the floor in the ER waiting room for 12 hours before I got taken for X-Rays and saw a doctor. After seeing my X-Rays, the doctor immediately gave a significant dose of narcotic pain killers. I understand how so many people die in the waiting rooms in Canada. Those were some of the hardest 12 hours of my life.

In Canada you wait a long time.
In USA you sell your car to pay the bills.

[RextheRebel]

You know waiting times are shorter in the US? Because so many people don't go to the doctor because of how expensive it is.

[yuppy]

I always go late to my appointments in Canada because I know my doctors will still not be there to see me on time😂

[KD-zifi]

I'm from Canada. Our system is not perfect, wait times are long, but I have never paid a single penny my whole life to get medical care. I'll take that any day.

Canada " You feel pain.. have you tried EUTHANASIA?"

[flush]

Living in Canada all my life, and in multiple cities across the country….the sweet spot is to have Canada’s healthcare system in a mid-size town with no more than 500-800K in population. Once you hit something like 1mil, or the GTA (multi-city or tri-city), the wait times and service gets worse.

[zdvxr]

Id rather wait 8 hours than pay 8 thousand.

[jeromeryan]

Ah so different in Japan.. here u need to come 5 mins earlier prior to your appointment and all the staff and nurses were really nice!

[augustusx]

I prefer United States healthcare, and I’ll tell you why. My job covers 85% of the total cost. Sometimes I can see the doctor for free and if I go see a specialist I literally pay the price of a movie ticket. The bonus is that I can see the doctor the same day that I start feeling my symptoms. I’ll pay 30 bucks to see the doctor the same day that my tooth starts hurting as opposed to it being free and not being able to go for a month.

[outerjex]

One is free and one is stupidly expensive

[jaypac]

The Canadian visit to the hospital made me laugh because it's true I Myself pace around the room touching things when I get tired a lay down take a power nap and wait for the doctor

[nickgames]

Bro, I live in US by the side of a huge hospital, near Lake Nona(a medical city) there are a max of 5 cars in the entire hospital parking lot. A lot of people here have the mentality "Oh, if it gets worse then I will go." But when it gets worse, it alredy too late. Like most cancer cases, there are a lot of cancer related deaths in US because of the mentality "I will go if it gets worse", and when the person finally goes to the doctor, the cancer already spreaded through the body. Health should be free, it is a human need, a human right!!!!

[Roof_Pizza]

You forgot that the American one has a crap ton of paperwork.

[Blacklighting]

I’d rather wait as a Canadian than be told by my insurance company that I can’t get the treatment my Dr suggest I need because I have to do XYZ first.

[jasonchiasson]

In Canada you pay for it in taxes, whether you use it or not. The equivalent of every citizen paying $7, 000 per year. And it is not health care, it is health rationing.

[Darlene-qsdy]

Canadian living in the USA. I explain that healthcare isn’t truly free and the wait times for basic services. So many are surprised by that.
