How is this happening in a world as wealthy as the one we have today? What's your story?

Hi all,

So I'm living in France and looking to leave, not only because the healthcare system is falling apart, but also due to the relative feeling of unsafety in the cities (I love urban environments, but the violence and crime in France is too much now).

Was looking into Canada, but between the drug/opioid crisis and healthcare also seeming to fall apart...

Just watched this video, and am starting to think: which country is not like this or going like this? https://youtu.be/l-Ms1ZekHVU?si=vEEAiy-MxwTPEdJs

For example I know that these ones are struggling on various fronts such as Emergency Care, Family Doctors, Dentists, and Specialists:

- France

- UK

- Netherlands

- USA

- Canada

- New Zealand

- Denmark

- Norway

The levels of failure are variable, but it appears that France, the UK, Canada, and the USA are some of the worst in all categories.

We're fortunate to be full remote and high earners, and are looking at moving to Dubai or Andorra to have our children and start a family in a safe environment with healthcare and good QoL.

But I feel for my parents, my friends, in various countries, and would love to hear other people's experience and if any medical professionals can answer that'd be amazing.

Another note: France killed my grandfather through bad medical care, they also screwed up my mum's cancer treatment and "forgot" to read a scan that showed her cancer was still there, stopping treatment for a year and effectively pushing her into stage 4... This was because and I quote "the specialists were swamped and lost your scan". My dad had a heartattack in January, and only had a followup last week because I called the hospital every day for the last 2 months to get a cancellation slot.
