Even good docs and relatively decent health care plans can’t guarantee easy in-easy out. I have relatives on both sides of the US / Canada border, and I would much rather remain on the south side. New patient appointments are usually the longest ones — several months in some cases, but when there’s trauma you DO have the ER….and some areas are better than others, so it’s hard to generalize.
On another point, hospitals are closing down at record rates in places like California and Texas — they don’t have the cash to stay open anymore after being drained dry by the many undocumented newcomers. Where the gov’t controls to an extreme, the people are not well served.

If we get completely socialized medicine, there will be more and more of these artificial price controls, and eventually the medical establishments will have to decide whom to save and whom to let die. There just won’t be enought taxpayer money to meet the demands and needs of everyone. You can’t have it two ways, because each way requires a choice by individuals.
