TV was off, in case you missed it, I heard it straight from the mouth
of a Canadian doctor.
But I'm with you on the don't believe the media, but where do you get
the information to make an informed decision?

Well, on the one hand that's anecdotal, and on the other hand, you
can't please everyone. Yeah, the system isn't perfect. There used
to be a wait in my town for MRIs. Then someone had the bright idea
to run the MRI machine 24 hours. Now you only have to wait a week
for an MRI, if you're willing to get the tests done at 4am. If
you're really sick, you probably would be willing to get the test at
4am rather than wait decades or whatever you guys think the wait
times are in Canada or any other country with public health care.
Turn off the TV. It's feeding you bullshit. Do your own research.

Yeah, my cardiologist is a Canadian. He's down here because he
hated being told to do 1/2 of what he wanted to do and not being
able to run tests to determine problems. He says the health care
here is far superior to Canada.
In Canada there's zero talk of abandoning universal public coverage
for basic medical. We argue about how much more public money
should be dumped into health care, but nobody would dream of
suggesting we make the system more like the US. We do have private
clinics and people debate how far we should go to support that
system. And yeah, rarely you have to wait a long time for a
procedure depending on the situation. If you're rich, you can
always pay for a private procedure, and if you're poor, the
government will often send you to the private clinic and cover your
costs, including travel in many cases. For the vast majority of
problems, you'll get a doctor soon enough.
