And just a reminder the US doesn’t even spend much less taxpayer money than Canada and other Western countries. The US taxpayer spends about 8-9% of GDP on healthcare, and gets this result. Other countries spend the same and get a free universal healthcare system.

For other reasons, I don't have a family doctor. All the doctors my insurance will pay for require making appointments >9 months in advance, and I fly so much with work that I can't commit to that type of lead time. Twice I've missed appointments, and both times instead of letting me reschedule the practice informed me that I was no longer allowed with them, and that missing an appointment is considered a big offense.
One day I'll figure it out but at 24 years old it's not a huge deal to me.
If I need antibiotics, my employer provided insurance covers the full cost and I pay a fixed $10 or so fee to the pharmacy.
You live a few hundred km south of me I bet, and in every way except this our world is very similar.. but you guys have far deeper problems then just transparency. Your entire view of healthcare is wrong.
