In British Columbia, the wait to see a doctor is so long that many, who can afford it, come to the US. I knew a boy who was made to wait six months for knee surgery and missed his whole senior basketball season. I have heard of people who were told that they have terminal cancer having to wait six months to see an oncologist. Perhaps Ontario has better health services, it's not unusual to see Leftist elites taking care of themselves first. It happens in the US all the time.

I really don't know how realistic that is.

I know several people, everything from knee replacement, hip replacement , eye cataracts and cancer treatment. None of whom have had to wait. I know one old guy, (I think he's 81 or 82) who has total kidney failure, on dialysis 3 times a week, has had a leg removed because of diabetes, has an on going continual series of small heart failures , has a pace maker which kick starts him when he has a failure, who has never had to wait for anything. And he is not a liberal and being a retired truck driver is hardly an elite of any kind. And he lives in Ottawa.

Maybe in BC?
