Your New Medical Credit Score Could Deny You Care

This is anecdotal evidence. I have friends in Canada who are incredibly proud of their healthcare system. They see the US system as archaic.

Maybe rich Canadians think differently, but universal healthcare will always be better for the general population.

Same with the NHS that's often derided. Cancer, heart attack, stroke? You'll be treated very quickly with the very best treatments.

Need some physio, but delaying it isn't going to cause ongoing problems? You're going to wait.

If you want to skip the queues then there's affordable private healthcare as well for non-urgent issues ... my plan with BUPA costs my employer £1,600 per year.
