Canada here... yes wait times are a bitch

But it must be clarified this is not a result of socialized medicine... this is mostly a result of Politicians (largely Conservatives) starving the system as hard as they can just to justify Private Medicine as the only solution.

Just to be clear, you should have read my post in the most sarcastic voice you are capable of. I don't think 3 months is an acceptable amount of time to have to wait for a doctor's appointment and I think it's absolutely insane that I have to pay as much as I do for insurance and still have to pay something out of pocket for the visit. The only thing keeping me in this country is my partner's fear of starting over in an unfamiliar place.

You say this as though wait times aren’t a problem in America, but they are. Funnily enough, it’s one of the main arguments people use against socialized medicine. It is consistently the most disappointing thing ever; that people refuse to lift themselves out of their shit filled pools.
