Natalie,

There are long waits for Canadians who rely on just the universal medical 
program

But if you have a secondary medical insurance, the wait is very short.  I have 
US Blue cross/ Blue shield, and am able to get in to have an MRI, or a 
Lidocaine infusion with in a week.  Canada is quickly becoming a two tiered 
system.
