And as a Canadian, I hear Americans talking about how we wait so long for care.
We do, but not for anything that is life threatening.
I don't mind waiting for an x-ray for something routine if some kid needs an x-ray to figure out if his skull is cracked or something.
I'm an American and a regular appointment is still likely a couple months out because of insurance.
So much better!
My response to wait times is to train more doctors, nurses and lab techs. Denying poorer workers from having access to healthcare so that wealthier people don't have to wait is cruel and a banal evil.
You will not find any disagreement by me.
Rest assured, that's just rhetoric peddled by and for useful idiots to "justify" why things shouldn't change.
This is the truth. My aunt comes to my third world country to treat her teeth. And for her is cheaper to come, pay the plane, pay the treatment, stay some days and return, thant to pay the same treatment in the US
If US Health Insurance companies are so great at the service they provide, why don't they take their business internationally? All these other countries must be so exasperated with their useless, inadequate federal healthcare programs.
Oh, wait, they're not.
That's basically the worst of all the developed countries with some developing countries doing better than us.
If you look well there are good health providers in south America.
