Have they? I have a few healthcare workers as friends - a family doctor, a few nurses and I recently had to use the ER in Revelstoke and while things aren't hunky dory it seems alright. My family doctor friend is happy with the changes the NDP made around pay and the nurses seem reasonably satisfied - like they don't complain anywhere as much as friends in other job types for what is a really tough job. There's of course shitty things in health but it doesn't seem like a disaster.
My recent uses of health services were generally pretty good - a bit workman like (not fancy) but I can't complain. My aunt recently had to undergo emergency heart surgery (ambulance ride, 11 hour surgery etc) and it appears the system does work (but not without flaws).
