Healthcare in the U.S., Britain, and Canada is ailing, but in different ways. Among major concerns in all three countries is long wait times for medical care. While sometimes patients in Britain and Canada, both of which have government-run healthcare systems, are forced to wait months for elective treatments, no one goes without healthcare. Studies show that the U.S. reports much lower wait times, but this is because there is a lower number of people waiting for care, as too many simply cannot afford it.
