My wife’s family is in Canada. Wait times are at least that bad, and worse if you actually need something (e.g. hip replacement). Diagnostic waits are especially bad.

When I raise such a question to my brain-dead leftist relatives in Ontario, I get: That’s all Lies! You listen to FOX news!

I certainly hope they don’t experience any painful conditions that require minor surgery.

It is not supposed to be such a long wait if you want euthanasia. They just need to figure out how to work the system.

Bet you an appointment to be euthanized is quicker.

The line is much, much shorter over here at the MAID clinic.

Is there any place in the world that does not cost $58,000 with little wait times?

A few years ago I spent some time on the official British Columbia government website. Clicking on the "healthcare" tab I found,among other things,that in BC one is expected to receive a hip replacement within six months of it being determined that one is needed.It wasn't a guarantee,it was an expectation. Both of my hip replacements,done at a major Boston hospital,occurred within eleven days of me having made the call to arrange for my initial consultation.

It was also noted that there is at least one cardiac procedure (can't recall which one) for which one can expect to wait up to one year. A few years ago my young niece was diagnosed as having a heart valve defect and it was decided she needed that valve replaced. It was done...at a major Boston hospital...three days after her first appointment with the Cardiologist.

Lastly...a few years ago one of Canada's Provincial Premiers (can't recall which one) needed heart surgery. As a rich and important man he surely could have gone to any hospital in Montreal,Toronto or Vancouver. But he had it done here in the United States.

So...in Canada everyone has the right to a heart operation for which they might have to wait up to one year. And everyone has the right to a hip replacement for which they're likely to wait six months...or longer.

well, it seems that these countries are doing something right. Why don’t we study their healthcare system and follow it?

Deep state wants to control you, ration healthcare, give free to most and charge you.

They must control education, economy, guns, healthcare, taxation levels, speech, etc, or they cannot have complete control.

A few years back I had a kidney stone. I saw my doctor on Monday, got referred to a specialist who I saw on Tuesday and had the thing laser blasted on Wednesday. All in the same week. And I had zero out of pocket costs. This was in Alaska. I’m guessing things wouldn’t move that quickly in Canada.

Wait until the next generation doctors come through. If the best & brightest are limited i what they can make, practice etc. they will chase other professions where those restrictions are not in place.
