Universal healthcare means that the patient will have to wait 9-12 months before they get any medical procedure performed.
They will be dead before they get treatment.
Universal healthcare is fine when you break a bone or get the flu.
But if you have a suspected tumor in you pancreas, an additional 3 month wait to get a second level diagnostic like an MRI or Endoscopic Ultrasound you probably wouldn’t be actually dead….but you will get a horrible diagnosis.
Our system isn’t perfect, but the results for horrible diseases is 10-15% better. It doesn’t seem like much…until it’s you.
