I’m in Canada and have two points to say on this: 1) The conservatives (political right) have eroded public health care any chance they can, such as through cutting budgets to any health-related service over the course of at least the last 20 years. They do this so that they can stand up in front of people and argue that “Wait times are long! If you let us implement private health care you could simply pay for better service!” 2) Even with the reduced budgets and constant attacks by conservatives, if I limp in to emerg with severe pains I’m getting looked at immediately and might be successfully out of surgery by the end of the hour. On a smaller note, I just had this convo this morning: “Can I book an appt to get my prescription refilled? I know the Dr has to talk to me before writing it” “For sure. I can get you in Nov 28th. Are you completely out?” “Yes I am, I miscalculated and I’m concerned.” “Ok, I’m putting you in for tomorrow afternoon. Does that work for you?”
