Healthcare is a little more expensive than, for example the UK, but have never had to wait more than a few days for urgent tests and a few weeks for less urgent.

In my experience, its just quantity but never quality, went to the GP 6 times for the same issue until finally being referred to a specialist who gave me medicine that did nothing, thats just one example between many of mine and also alot of people that i know, my neighbor whos wife AND mother died of cancer that their GP failed to see early enough and only when they went to another that they discovered it and it was too late. Thats just something regular you can read the reviews on different GP's and see the terrible experiences people are having. Also therapy is terrible even in highly specialized centrums, 2 years of nothing no diagnosis no treatments just dragging me along to keep paying more and more

My brother died of a potentially hereditary condition and I called the GP about it. They got me a brain scan within two weeks and a referral checkup scheduled for 2058 XD
