in Spain , if only one out of x people in their family works, all the rest of the family members are insured for universal healthcare, as long as they are legal residents or citizens of course.
In Canada, you pay nothing for anything that isn’t elective as long as you’re a resident. You just need to register for a healthcare number which can be done at admittance.
I am Canadian too. If I remember correctly, you had to get your family doctor to refer you to a specialist for anything major. During this time, your condition can get worse.
I haven’t heard much better about Americans waiting until they die for their insurance company to deny care, or wait for months to find a spot in network, and pay hundreds to thousands of dollars a month for the privilege. I think we do pretty good up here, as life expectancy and outcome comparisons would show.

American have it the worse. No competition. At this point I wouldn’t move back to the US anymore. I might move back to Ontario somewhere.
