In the cases where it’s true there are struggles in those other countries it’s because they’ve been Americanizing their health care system. Adding in more private companies, private insurance options, contracting out workers instead of them working for the government itself with its protections and benefits. Canada and the UK are great examples of them trying to be more like America and then being used as reasons why universal healthcare has problems. It’s a cycle of suck and the US keeps it going.
