Im sorry to hear that you had bad experiences in Canada. However your personal story is effectively one data point and not necessarily representative of a good comparison between healthcare systems. This analysis is a pretty good overall analysis of the quality, efficacy and safety of different healthcare systems. That’s not to say that just because the US is worse overall that it doesn’t perform better in a subset of medicine, in your case, mental health. But no matter what your own personal situation, you have effectively moved from a bad system to a worse system (even though it has been good for your family personally).
The original posts point which you quoted is that the US health system is Fd and everyone knows it. The analysis presented here supports that. The US spends a lot more per capita on healthcare with worse outcomes and less people having access to healthcare. I’m very glad your move has has worked out for you.
