But other “health style” issues are not so great. For instance we don't have pediatric doctors available to us when we need. Right now we are on referral to see a pediatric doctor, but its been 6 months and counting.
Also if a hospital screws anything up there is next to no recourse to a patient.
Not sure if Americans are aware, as it surprised my wife, but only health care is strictly covered. Dental is totally private. There is no coverage for prescriptions, or cpap machines, or seeing a therapist, or the eye doctor, or podiatrist, unless you are part of a group coverage through an employer.
