I have family in Canada and was surprised by all the gaps in coverage. No dental, limited long term care, no drug coverage (though drug prices are much lower than in the US). It's like Medicare in the US that way (the public health program for those over 65). The UK and other European countries are more comprehensive.
I will say though that I once fell down some stairs on a Saturday night in Toronto. Was seen immediately in the ER. Nothing broken, just badly bruised back. As I left, the staff were embarrassed to tell me that I had to pay, as a non-resident. The cost? $325. In the US, I'd have waited at least 3 hours and gotten a bill for at least $3000.
