Yeah, the thing is that universal healthcare doesn't really create wait times. I can get an MRI in two weeks. I have had back surgery 3x, with a two week wait time being the longest. I can get same day care from my GP. Are there longer wait times? Yes. Does the ER have long wait times? Mostly, yes.
But, out of pocket cost for anything medical is parking fees. We never have to worry that no matter how serious and long your illness lasts, you won't be bankrupted by it. I can't imagine jumping through financial hoops while suffering an emergency. Universal healthcare is a superior system. 🇨🇦
I would like to immediately flag this as a misleading view of goverment healthcare. In the UK you get your hospital travel expenses refunded if you cannot afford them. You barbarians.
