> Many Americans have decent coverage from their employer. For them, it’s not worth upending the system for what might be moderate gains.
Negative gains I may say. In my experience of the Canadian healthcare and US healthcare systems, the latter, IF you are well insured, feels like a Rolls-Royce whIle the former is like driving a Lada in Pothole City.
I remember the first time I called my provider in the US to book an appointment with a dermatologist. She said "Wednesday", I said "What month?" I couldn't believe it was that same week. I used to wait 2-3 months in Canada. And I had to first get a reference from a ER/generalist doctor.
Also don't forget the US spends on medicare/medicaid/VA about the same % Canada spends on healthcare.
