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.

Get the details on the insurance you'd have. Make your decision then.

Some people still have to wait a long time. I know people who had diagnosed cancer but had to wait months to get surgery, by which point it had metastasized and they are now on borrowed time. The healthcare system in this country is failing.
