    Conservatives bitching about how if we had Canada’s healthcare, we’d be waiting forever.

    I have AMERICAN healthcare and I have to schedule a basic ass mandatory checkup 4-6 months in advance.

    If it was an emergency, the next available slot is six weeks.

      if we had Canada’s healthcare, we’d be waiting forever.

      Or another approach, calculate how much time it takes to save the cash for any given procedure and compare that to any socialized care. Say for an MRI, lab work, root canal, etc.

      USA system is great if your wealthy. Otherwise you might as well be in a developing country as far as your access to all these high tech treatments we need massive profits on.
