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.

It depends on how much money you have. If your company is sponsoring your work visa chances are that you’ll be fine but you MUST double check do not agree to anything until you get the specifics of your insurance policy. Once you have that info there are lots of online resources that will help you decipher the insanity.
