The waiting time for a large chunk of Americans for all of those procedures is infinite, because they can't afford them at all. That makes the Canadian and British system look quite a lot better than ours. America has the best emergency care system for rich people in the world, but for the average Joe our healthcare system sucks compared to just about any of those socialized systems. The idea that America has the best healthcare system in the world is a joke.

That's a joke I hope, but it isn't at all true. Social programs tend to only cover emergency care. If you get cancer and you're poor, you're fucked and doomed to a slow death because emergency rooms don't do chemotherapy. Anything that requires treatment but isn't immediately emergency life or death and you're screwed. Do you actually know many poor people?
