Manitoba: not bad when you can see a doctor. Wait times are atrocious, so hopefully you don’t have something that’ll kill you in less than a couple months. Getting a family doctor is a pain between the extra long time it takes to find a family doctor and the frequency with family doctors leaving for other provinces. Rural ERs are often closed due to lack of doctors wanting to work in a rural area.
I guess it’s “free” (if you consider paying with your taxes free), but it is usually quite a bit cheaper than American healthcare.
As for the politics of it, it was like this with an NDP government, and it’s like this with a Conservative government. Both are incompetent.
