Spain has Paradise-Grade Socialized Healthcare. Meaning you may show up to an appointment for chemmo therapy only to be told to come next week because they have no supplies. Or, my favourite, you get diagnosed with lung cancer and th take four months to perform an extension study, and by the time they do it yo are told you have metas everywhere and you are gonna die in a year because yo took too long to treat it.
Compare that to holding an insurance card and getting a tumor extracted the same day it is discovered.
While it might not be that quick here in the states, from what I can tell
you are more likely to get something serious taken care of quickly (and
not be offered assisted suicide as an alternative) if you are here in the states vs. Canada or places in Europe.
The downside, of course, is that it won't be "free."
