In Canada if you are physically injured or have a baby you go to the hospital, get care and go home. No worries of bankruptcy.
If you have a non urgent / long term condition you spend years waiting to see someone.
On the whole I still think it is a better system than the US but it really does have problems.
People opt not to get treated or take ambulance in the states due to the costs. Even if you have coverage from work you may only have coverage at specific hospitals for some treatments.
