Dude sorry about your disability. My wife and son both have one, and I must say Ontario is shit for that stuff, BC has been great though.
Back to our points again, a properly funded healthcare system would not have a 2 year wait. It would have capacity. The trouble is we live in a capitalistic run society, so even if we all agreed fully funded health care was the way, and we always had open capacity to do the work, what you would end up with is:
A scenario like slow period in the fall as sports wrap up and there's less injuries. There would be open spots and doctors / nurses finally getting some time off, and some opportunistic politician for the opposition would say "omg look at all the wasted tax payer money with idle surgery rooms", and people who can't critically think would be like "oh yeah they are fucking us". Rather than remembering we all agreed human health was the priorty, and not our tax rate.
And they'd vote for the private solution, not realizing that the tax you save, gets paid out to private, either out if pocket or out of employers insurance... And employers insurance is not free, and hinders employer from hiring more staff or raising wages. (Been through this exact problem at our employer with ever increasing private health insurance premiums causing us to reduce staff, and raise copay, cut services)
Anyway, its not solely limited to health care. I see the exact same problems in the manufacturing sector depending on if the facility is independently owned (public analogy) or share holder driven(private analogy). In the share holder model with conventional accounting every machine or workcell they want at 100% capacity, which creates waste and bottle neck problems. But they want to cut all costs and increase profit. There metric is not product delivery(human analogy) it is money.
While the single owner can look outside of stupid metrics and see that their priority is the product throughput (human surgeries) and if one workcell is idle that's fine since they paid for it in the past, and its there for capacity reasons of to fill a sometimes necessary part of the process. But as a capitalistic society we focus on short term funds, and longterm longevity. So private health care looks attractive when your public system keeps getting cuts.
