Shorter wait times thing is bullshit. All hospitals do Triage - the worse you are the faster you are seen

Also if you are pregnant, the odds of you dying in the U.S. are double that of Canada (worse if you aren't white)

If you're a child, you are 34% more likely to die by the age of 5 in the U.S. than Canada.

mortality for women is very high for mothers, and even more so if you are african american woman, you are more likely to be ignored/balked at because of systemic racism.

I think the wait times thing is for stuff like specialist appointments - we're definitely lacking some medical specialists in Canada

Well yeah, emergency care is different. There are some countries that have long waits for specialists.

I’d encourage anyone interested to check OECD data. Weird how the US doesn’t rank first in anything….
