We have universal public healthcare in Québec.

Also higher per-capita WuFlu mortality than the USA ( much lower than Democrat New-York though ). And I have been on the list waiting over two years for a "family doctor" ( basically a doctor you can make apointments with, rather than go to the ER or try to get a spot at open clinics that fill within 10 minutes of opening ).

If you need urgent lifesaving treatment, it's good and lower cost than US hospitals though. The "price" is gatekeeping non-emergencies so patients give-up and recover on their own, or suffer with their problems untill they can't function or live with them.

The other option is gatekeeping the same people out with a price barrier.

A universal public system has advantages, but also important drawbacks.

Managing WuFlu is absolutely not a general success in states with universal public healthcare. This is just a dishonest use of an opportunity to try and push for it.

Imagine being sick, in pain, and having to wait to hit the refresh button on your browser as soon as the system opens, rush filling the form, then click to send, praying the request goes through fast enough so you don't get a "désolé, le sans rendez-vous est complet, les inscriptions ouvrent à 18h pour le lendemain".

And if you go to the ER because you couldn't get a spot at open clinics, expect to wait anywhere from 3 to 16 hours. Exceptionally you can wait as little 1h30 ( like at a more rural hospital on a day with 2 doctors on the floor ) or over 20 hours. Yes, a whole fucking day. Québec has the worst ER waiting time of the whole developped world.
