Well as someone who has experience universal systems in 2 countries and the US system, if I ever got cancer I’d want to be in the US with private insurance (or hell, Medicare or Medicaid even). Yes, the US system is dysfunctional and very expensive, but one reason why it’s expensive is because they’ll throw everything plus the kitchen sink at you. In the countries I was in, if you get cancer they’ll pay for breakthrough from 3-5 years ago, but that drug approved by the FDA last year? Nope.

"Then I found out that this other country — which I thought had a healthcare system that was so superior to the U.S. — doesn't test for the tumour marker that saved my life, and doesn't cover this drug that is responsible for pushing my cancer into remission after traditional chemotherapy failed to do that."
