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 :)

kuyt0b1Your view is what we call anecdotal. You are basing your point of view of the healtcare system on your own experience.
It is not simple to figure out how good a health care system works for a country as a whole. There are organizations that do this - they use many different parameters to give their best guess, as to how well the health care system is working.
The Danish system is generally ranked quite high - despite the problems it has (i.e. waiting lists).
Most people in Denmark have access to free health care, most people who are sick, are treated, and treated correctly, most people are satisfied with the healthcare system, etc. etc. etc. etc.
When you look at health care across other countries - yes some are better - like Switzerland France, etc. but the Danish one is still quite good. And compared to countries where the health care system doesn't actually work well, we are very well off.
You hear a lot of Americans complain about the Danish system - that is because they are rich, they are from families who can afford health care in the US. If they were not part of the top of society, the story would be different - they could be in life long debt to a hospital if they break a leg or have a child. Or just not be able to get treated, because they don't have insurance.
The same applies in many other countries - treatment is only available for the rich, and that treatment may be very good, but for all the other people they are on their own if they get sick.
So when we say "the Danish health care system is not good at all", that is incorrect, and in my opinion an opinion that shows that we don't know how it is in the rest of the world.
