The NHS makes Canada's system look good by comparison.
That's for sure! In the UK, where I lived for a year and a half back in my late teens, if you weren't suffering a life-threatening illness, they'd give you a 10 minute (maximum) consultation,
then push you out the door, often with no prescription or anything, except a "carry on" attitude typical of the English.
