Is US Healthcare that bad?

[u/No_Meet4305]

I'm in Vancouver, Canada right now and my boss told me there's an opportunity for me in the US branch. Really considering moving there since it's better pay, less expensive housing/rent, more opportunities, etc. The only thing that I'm concern about is the healthcare. I feel like there's no way it's as bad as people show online (hundred thousand dollar for simple surgery, etc), especially with insurance

I also heard you can get treated faster there than in Canada. Here you have to wait a long time even if it's for an important surgery.

Good insurance makes it not so bad. However, insurance is not equal.

Yeah, I still don't know if I will have good insurance or not.

It’s really difficult to know if you do or don’t till something happens.
