Canadian universal healthcare isn’t free, it’s funded collectively through taxes, so everyone pays into the system based on their ability, and in return, healthcare is available when people need it, without direct out-of-pocket costs at the time of care. It’s more about spreading the cost across the population to make it manageable for everyone.

Your experience highlights why so many Canadians value their system. Having four surgeries and a skin graft without the stress of bills piling up is a huge benefit. In the U.S., the same procedures could indeed cost tens of thousands of dollars, not even factoring in travel and lodging if specialized care is needed. That’s a significant burden for many people, especially those without adequate insurance.

Universal healthcare isn’t perfect, but it shows the strength of prioritizing access over ability to pay. It’s a system built on the idea that health is a right, not a privilege.
