The details of Canadian healthcare are glossed over by pinkos who want to push socialist medicine.
Key points to remember:
The government is not selfless and never does anything to help people. They are always looking for a good sounding excuse to grow their budgets.
The basic necessities for life are food, shelter and clothing. Currently citizens don't have a 'human right' for these commodities, but they will instead jump to 'education' and 'healthcare' being human rights? It's not for any altruistic reason, it's because both of those programs can create a bottomless pit of spending.
Healthcare and education are products, but governments see those sectors as cash cows for public money especially if they can control every aspect of sourcing, administration, delivery etc.
Limiting or eradicating private sector competition only leads to inflated costs for everything from drugs to supplies to labour costs. Fixing the price of labour will also cause the skilled GPs and specialists to leave for a free market economy like the US where they can get the money they are worth.
As a result we get replacement doctors from the 3rd world. I have had at least 2 doctors that did not have proper command of the English language, effectively making them useless.
In the end, all you end up with is a giant monolithic money pit that delivers average service at best with extended wait times for everything, little to no flexibility (don't risk rescheduling due to a conflict, you may have to wait years). See the NHS in the United Kingdom, it's a government entity but people praise and worship it like it is a god or something. It's bizarre fanatic behaviour more akin to Charles Manson-type cultism.
Oh, and if they harm/kill you as the result of negligence, good luck suing the government. Elder abuse is a huge problem that is rarely reported.
