if we had Canada's healthcare, we'd be waiting forever.

Or another approach, calculate how much time it takes to save the cash for any given procedure and compare that to any socialized care. Say for an MRI, lab work, root canal, etc.

USA system is great if your wealthy. Otherwise you might as well be in a developing country as far as your access to all these high tech treatments we need massive profits on.

As a Canadian the last time that I had to go to the ER I was in and out in 2 hours and it cost me nothing out of pocket.

Now when it comes to procedures themselves oh there's a bit of a wait. But generally if it's serious you get bumped ahead cuz we use triage rules for most things.

This is the new doctor 😭😭.

I called another place and they actually said to call back in a couple months. The healthcare system is so consolidated in my state that there's only a few systems to go to. Maine.

I could schedule something hours away but then I'd need to take time off work to go or I won't go because of the inconvenience
