I'm comparing to the best public healthcare system I'm personally familiar with (Germany) and saying:
* Medical-school debt is not a thing here.
* Prices are low.
* I know doctors who can't make a sustainable income to keep their small practices open.
Somewhat puzzlingly, for a handful of services, there can a medium length delay in getting an appointment because of how busy the doctors are.
This is definitely all much better than the situation is in Canada, where the typical person struggled even to get a GP, and friends with cancer would be forced to wait a life-imperiling year to get a routine scan that be the difference between life and death.
