How do Canadians like their national health system?

Question:

How does the quality of health care compare to other countries?

Answers:
I generally like the health care here .. we do actually pay into it, not as much as Americans do, but we still do. Roughly $70 a month if for medical/dental. Enables us to go and have our prescriptions, doctors appointments, check ups surgeries, pretty well anything, for that cost. The downside is, we do wait a long time for surgeries. Also for exams, I am currently waiting 6 months to have an MRI done. Depending on the surgery, you could wait anywhere from a few weeks, to a year for it.

I live in USA, but I know there health is free, there is no concept of insurance carrier, copays, prior authorisation etc. This comes at the cost of higher taxes but theie health care at least does not get turned down when it is needed the most. good luck
