Just a reminder that the european and canadian healthcare systems have abysmal wait times, to the point that people can often expiernce permanent life injuries or even death due to the extreme wait times to be treated. While emergencies are usually treated quickly most things that cause long term injury aren't emergencies.
and the worst wait times, often resulting in harm
% of people waiting more than 2 months for a specialist.
Germany 2x vs USA, new zealand 4x, sweden 3x, australia, 3x, France 3x, canada 5x.. all % of people waiting more than 2 months for a specialist

I can atest to the UK wait times.
Prevention and promotion of healthy lifestyles from childhood should always be the main focus anyway.

I wish I had this. I wasn't really pushed like this so I was left behind healthwise. You'd probably ~half all doctor's appointments in the UK, US, etc.
wonder how many of them died in Vietnam
