My unbiased understanding of healthcare in the countries you've mentioned. I know individuals who have lived in Canada, the U.K and France.

My Canadian friend likes her healthcare. She still pays for $120 a month for full coverage but she understands it could be much more. Has never had a problem with wait times or service.

The U.K system as I understand it has a lot of problems. Wait times suck unless you require critical care and they are taxed to all hell.

France has a very good system, again highly taxed but isn't run as bad as the U.K. Will you get the cutting edge technology that we have here in America? No but your treatment isn't going to be anything close to outdated either.
