  Do we have issues with wait times, yes. However, the guy above you broke his arm and had to pay $5,000 AFTER insurance covered their portion.

    I worked with a Canadian about 10 years ago that broke his arm while visiting family in Winnipeg during Christmas. He waited 2 or maybe 3 full days to have it set and get a cast with no luck in seeing a doctor and finally drove across the border to have it done in the US. He was 60 or so and when he didn't even seem upset at that happening! That really opened my eyes on "free" healthcare.

      N of 1 stories don't really work as I could easily find a ton of terrible stories of why the private system in the states is bad for people. The Canadian system (or any public system) gets a bad rap for wait times, but it's not like everyone is just walking around with open wounds and broken bones here. I work in a hospital, and if you come in and need an MRI urgently, you get it. If it can wait, you wait. We aren't fully public, and if you want a private MRI next day you can pay for it (and in fact, the last time I compared local prices vs prices in Montana, we were cheaper).
