The Canadian Medicare system is good for the most part. We get all our care, x-rays and MRI's, surgeries and hospital care for free, and drugs cheap for the most part. But the care offered in at least 1 hospital is barely adequate. Overcrowded, dirty, and severe lack of quality "wellness" care.

Medicare can work, but some Hospitals are under funded for sure.
