| Well as others have said it varies from province to province, some here in New Brunswick complain about wait times and getting a doctor but I’ve personally had no problems . Maybe fortunate that my family doctor took a younger doctor moving to the area under his wing for a year or so prior to his retirement . It gave her time to get familiar with a complete client portfolio and all of us patients a new doctor . The timing was great as during that time I married an American citizen who was in need of a doctor here and she ( the doctor) accepted my wife as a patient .
I’m a diabetic and get appointments and specialists, etc as needed . This fall took another bad cellulitis infection in my leg and was hospitalized for 3 weeks at $0 cost .
Last year my wife had bowel complications from a surgery she had done a few years ago in the US and got prompt surgery all the attention she needed at $0 cost . She works here in Canada at a fast food restaurant and pays both US and Canadian taxes as she’s still a US citizen .
Her first husband died after many years with kidney problems, on dialysis for years and therefore she now has significant medical experience on both sides of the border .
I have Blue Cross medical insurance which covers 80% of prescription medication , vision and dental benefits . She says that the medical care is very close to the same level on both sides of the border . Occasionally she’ll comment that here they are more likely to suggest an economically more feasible option that will work as well . Says that in the US they just used whatever and bill you .
