A preview of Obamacare...
This is Canada, not the UK (London, Ontario).
“It used to be 5 MONTHS, now it’s almost A YEAR!!!
A preview of Obamacare”
i’d gladly wait a year as long as obamacare helps the unfortunate welfare moms and illegals get free care.
My aunt was a retired school teacher in Sweden. She got cataracts and was almost blind. She got on the wait list and they kept backing it off and backing it off. Finally a nurse told her that because she was a retired woman that her priority was so low that she’d never get the operation. After that she got depressed and died. (So, they saved a lot of money there.)
This is how socialized medicine is intended to work.
Funding wouldn’t hurt wait times if a free market system was in place. A free market would have just added more staff, thus more profit. It would have been a win for the patient, a win for the practice and a win for the guy that got hired.
In 2012, in this country, it took a week for pre-surgery check up, set up appt. at surgery room, and the first eye was done. As soon as that eye recovered a bit, the second one was done. Couldn’t have been arranged any faster than it was.
In the future here, it would be a good thing to have your doctor as a friend.
I had to wait a whole week.
