Well, on the one hand that's anecdotal, and on the other hand, you can't please
everyone. Yeah, the system isn't perfect. There used to be a wait in my town
for MRIs. Then someone had the bright idea to run the MRI machine 24 hours.
Now you only have to wait a week for an MRI, if you're willing to get the tests
done at 4am. If you're really sick, you probably would be willing to get the
test at 4am rather than wait decades or whatever you guys think the wait times
are in Canada or any other country with public health care. Turn off the TV.
It's feeding you bullshit. Do your own research.

Yeah, my cardiologist is a Canadian. He's down here because he hated being
told to do 1/2 of what he wanted to do and not being able to run tests to
determine problems. He says the health care here is far superior to Canada.
In Canada there's zero talk of abandoning universal public coverage for
basic medical. We argue about how much more public money should be dumped into
health care, but nobody would dream of suggesting we make the system more like
the US. We do have private clinics and people debate how far we should go to
support that system. And yeah, rarely you have to wait a long time for a
procedure depending on the situation. If you're rich, you can always pay for a
private procedure, and if you're poor, the government will often send you to
the private clinic and cover your costs, including travel in many cases. For
the vast majority of problems, you'll get a doctor soon enough.
