As an American I’m curious what it’s like if you need to go to the doctor and how much you pay from say a broken arm to general checkup. Also list what country please

Yeah, Canadians bitch about waiting in ER thinking it’s different in the USA. Dumbasses have never lived outside of Canada.
I lived in America for 6 years, 07306 and 98125. Canada in the V9, V3, V8, V0, T2, K2, K3 postal codes.
Wait times were identical.
Care was identical.
The only difference was American healthcare has a credit card machine on the way out, and Canadian healthcare has no payment stuff – but may ask you to confirm your health number when you find it (came in without any paperwork) for the records.
I pay $0 extra for healthcare, beyond normal income tax (which consistently ranks 1% below American, something I’ve been tracking from before when I had to file in both countries).
I will say our conservatives are consistently trying to open the door to the two-tier setup, and hearing how well it’s done for the NHS I really want us to avoid that. They’d like to get us under the mercenary American system, and their corpo donors are really pushing for that. Especially because our gun laws prevent Luigis.
