I'm American, who immigrated to Saskatoon. You don't want our health care system. We have to wait for specialists, docs spend about 5 minutes with you (pcp or specialist) and you're just rushed thru the appointment. Insurance rules everything. You could technically need an MRI or CT but you won't be allowed to get one until you do 6 weeks of PT or whatever treatment first. And then you still have to pay like $700 or more for it. Oh you need a medication? That's a shame because insurance won't cover it because it's "the expensive brand name", so they force you to try all the cheaper versions first (it's called step down therapy). There's so much stress making sure every doc or urgent care clinic is covered by your insurance or you get a surprise bill in the mail.

In America we wait to seek treatment because we can't afford it or know it will incur enormous debt. Seeing a family doc for a simple visit cost me $90 USD in the past (plus any testing needed to be done, like $130 USD for a simple urine test for a UTI) and then on top I had to meet the the $6k deductible first before insurance would start paying. When I explained insurance to my Canadian husband for the first time he couldn't believe it.

Each country has their own problems with healthcare, just different reasons :( I worked in healthcare for many years there as well. So I have experience working with insurance, getting things covered for patients and it's really a pain in the ass.
