I can't intelligently speak to the issue myself, but I know we have some Canadians here on the forums, they would probably be the best source for useful opinions of universal healthcare.
For what I know, the problems that I hear most frequently are: 1) Long waits to see a doctor, whether for routine visits or emergency care (on the order of 3-4 weeks to get an appointment); 2) Poor quality of service (doctors can't spend adequate time on any individual patient); and 3) The exorbitant cost to the government, which in turn leads to exorbitant taxes on the citizenry and/or slashed federal funding in other areas.
