      I’m not.

      In my country we have public (and free!) healthcare, but doctors wait until it’s life-threatening to treat patients. My mother has been two (2) times in preop for her goiter, and she’s still waiting for almost 2 years for the actual procedure. I have been waiting for almost a year for an umbilical hernia.

      Private healthcare is the same I heard, except well, you pay.

        you’d think a public healthcare system would figure out that treating conditions early is actually cheaper.
