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.
I have very good health insurance from my company for my family…wait times are still months and months. When I needed a CT for what the wife and I thought was a damn brain tumor, was a 3 week wait…for a fucking possible brain tumor. My insurance is what is considered Cadillac health insurance. It’s stupid expensive.
Yet I have wait times longer than any single payer western healthcare.
Anyone who thinks that US healthcare is better than the “socialism” healthcare is a fucking idiot.
i have state subsidized healthcare, and the wait time is very long, obviously not insane like waiting 1+years. you guess it the majority of the patients that cant afford insurance are POCs, especially older ones. almost no white people.
