If you're an American, you're in no position to judge our crappy bureaucratic system. But I know for sure since I experienced many times I have no issues to get a healthcare whenever I needed it. And that include dentist. If I get sick right now presumably from some unknown drugs you're assuming, I wont be scared that enormous bill will wait for me after they take care of me.
I wont say it's free because our employers pay for it from our paychecks.
I am not American, I live in EU and have experienced our healthcare system. We pay a lot for it but once I needed it for surgery, had to wait 6 months. We all have different experiences, that I admit. It would be fair if we all got the Brutto amount of our paycheck and then have an option what services to use and when.
This is also what I heard a lot but so far I'm still examine fairly quickly.
But it's also true I'm not waiting for a knee replacement or something like that. For knees, I heard people are wait for years.
It's not all flowers but so far I had no issues with them and I had broken bones and some kidney and abdominal issues. Everything went smoothly without much waiting.
What I admit is a total disaster is a psychological help. They really stuck in the 80s era.
