Having the best hospitals in the world doesn't matter if only a tiny subset of your population can actually use them. The wait times for life threatening issue

Having the best hospitals in the world doesn't matter if only a tiny subset of your population can actually use them. The wait times for life threatening issues in Canada really isn't that bad as someone who spent last year with my mother going through Cancer treatments and has a few friends here going through the same at the moment. Less urgent procedures due tend to take a long time though. So while Canadians may wait up to 6 weeks for non-essential/urgent surgeries, 45,000 americans die each year because they lack the insurance to pay for their medical treatments.
