People who say Canada has longer wait times ignore that the US doesn’t count the wait times poor or uninsured people have, or people that forgo care entirely. They compare well insured people in the US to the entire Canadian system.
The Canadian system definitely has its shortcomings, and is getting worse…ie if you live in an area with a concentration of poor or old people. But the reason it’s getting worse is because conservative government continue to force the profit motive on health systems as they cut funding and introduce private components.
