You would be surprised the level to which our healthcare system has degraded in recent years. I'm lucky to have a doctor as my wife's doctor left the country, leaving her searching for a new doctor for years. Nobody is accepting new patients and my daughter is in the same situation so they have to go to walk in clinics if they have any issues.

Acute care is OK but wait times are so long that people are dying in the ER, and you'd better hope you don't have something that requires long term management if you can't find a doctor.

Plus pharmacy and dental have never been covered, and those are a large portion of the average person's healthcare cost, so you still need to carry private insurance.
