Before y'all ask, I'm not american, I'm mexican.
The reason of why I'm asking this question in this subreddit it's because my (corrupt and horrible) president AMLO has prometing us many times in these 6 years of his (awful) goverment that we gonna have a good healthcare system as the danish one.
As you can imagine.....We're SO far from having at least a decent healthcare system like the european countries, so, after this explication, I want to ask you:
How good do you think it's your healthcare system?
What do you think yout sytem fails and in what ways?
Did you have only good experiences or you had a bad experience with it?
I would really blessed to read your answers :)

kuypknaI think it would be hard to replicate the Danish model in countries with lower trust, higher crime rates and maybe even in larger countries in general. The taxes are sky high. Which works in Denmark, I pay my taxes with pride and contentment, but I don’t think it would work in a lot of other countries. But I guess trust needs to start somewhere.
Statistically speaking our health care system performs very well and on a personal level I’ve only had good experiences with the Danish hospitals, midwives and doctors. It’s free, aside from dental, medication and mental healthcare which is only partially covered. One of the biggest challenges it faces is the general workers shortage Denmark is experiencing right now, which has caused longer wait lists. When I went in for surgery this summer, the doctor told me that they only had half as many anaesthetic (the English title escapes me?) nurses as usual, since they couldn’t find any one to fill in the open positions. It didn’t delay my stay, and I think they were very good at working around it, but it got me thinking. In a lot of cases you will have a guaranteed maximum waiting time, if they know they can’t treat you within that window, they will refer you to a private hospital if possible. We did that with my daughter, and it was very smooth since everything is digitalised, the staff at the public hospital just checked to see if we were okay with them booking an appointment at the private hospital and that was it.
