I can tell you from an Americans point of view now living in Canada
I would say if you were ever in the US military and had to use the health care system you would find it to be a similar experience.
I have not waited for anything.
Ellisa got liquid soap in her eye that caused a chemical burn on her cornea and when I took her to the emergency room she waited for 1 person ahead of her to go and then she was treated.
When I need to go see a doc in the morning because I am sick with a cold or flu I go to any one of hundreds of health clinics in the GTA and get taken care of.
There are about 20 in my local area and I can go to one and if its full I simply drive down the street to another.
I have a family practitioner and I have never paid them a penny other then our normal taxes.
You can get extra health coverage to cover the rest of the things that are not covered for cheap I think for our family its 200$ a month and that covers anything else we need!
The service in Canada is just as good as I have ever got in the USA and it has cost me FAR less
