Well, of course, because in the US, you can get treatment. Here in Canada, you're either left on a stretcher in an over-crowded hospital, or being told "come back in 6 month to get your CT scan... [if you're still alive]". The current pandemic has even gotten worse, a close family member never got the luxury to get an appointment for a cancer appointment even though he was showing symptoms.

Canada is not the only country with a healthcare system that doesn't entirely copy the US.

We can talk about France if you want, where a family member was told to "suck it up" after an injury when he was able to go to a private hospital (he's got the money to consult specialists) and get his shoulder fixed there.

France is run by neoliberals, and ended up closer to the US than Canada. A better example of a properly-functioning healthcare system is Taiwan, or the Netherlands.

Did you live and experience first hand any of these two systems ?

[caslon]

I have, actually! Given that your cited example wasn't first-hand, I don't see how the question is relevant, though.

[mnouquet]

What I cited was 100% first hand experience, thanks for the condescension. I've experienced both systems.

I wouldn't wish either you or your partner to be told to pound sand upon experiencing an health related issue. To know that something can be treated, but to be told GTFO. I wished to have a discussion about the matter, but you are obviously not ready for this to happen.
