It's decent when it's serious enough, but the worst case will obviously end up in the news.

There's almost bo clinics you can visit without an appointment, so you need to call a hotline (8-1-1) to talk to someone who will ask some questions about your current medical condition and try to book you an appointment to the nearest clinic. Be ready to wait at the ER for a long time if you're not a priority at the triage, but I'd rather wait than paying a fortune when I can't see anyone else because all the clinics are full and you don't have a family doctor.
