I have family and friends who live in UK and Canada and they both have told me that its very hard to schedule an appointment as you have to schedule your appointment months in advance compared to a few weeks over here. They have also told me that the only way you can get urgent care is if you have very severe injures or if you health condition is so bad that you would die without urgent care. Compared that to here US, when I had a very bad cough , my mom called the nearby hosiptal and we got urgent care almost immediately and didnt need to wait a long time like they need to in the UK or Canada. Lastly the only way the government can pay for universal healtcare is to go deep in to debt or raise our taxes , and I dont want either to happen.
I do support subsides though for low income Americans
Seems reasonable to me, thanks for explaining. Your point regarding the time it takes to get an appointment is very relevant. It is quite bad in the Dutch mixed private-public system, and it was even worse when it was all public.
