My sister has been impressed with the health care system, but then they haven't really had any health problems. But she's also become more liberal in some of her views so maybe the 'bad guys' up there are getting to her.

Health care in America needs a humongous overhaul too! I wish the Pres. would put me on that board. I have lots of ideas.

If you rarely need medical assistance, the health care system is fine.

I probably see the doctor, at most, once every year or two. I have rarely needed a specialist, if at all. My kids, ages 16 and 18, rarely need a doctor either, thankfully.

If you have an emergency the system is good. There may be a wait at times, but they take you in order of urgency, which is fair.

It is when you need special treatment, surgery, etc., that there seem to be many complaints. I am not just talking about what you hear in the media...they will find a complainer for everything. I mean listening to friends and their experiences, etc. Lots of waiting for appointments (months to see someone) and treatment. Typical results when the government runs things and puts limits on everything.
