Getting into a doctor in the US requires long waits, too! The last time I bought insurance, I decided to get a long-overdue checkup, so I went hunting for a doctor in-network. There goes one afternoon, just calling around to GPs to see if they were accepting new patients. Nope. A few weeks later I tried again and found someone could see me three months from then! And I'm paying $400 a month to get this with a $6500 deductible?? The "long wait times" critique of Canadian health care makes no sense in the face of actual American health care access. It's the same here, except we pay coming and going for it.
