Canada and the UK and Japan and dozens of other countries are all doing it better.
Propaganda has that one covered:
“There are people in Canada that wait months and months to see a doctor for serious problems!”
It’s the most common thing I hear when I discuss healthcare with anyone… “But the waittttssss!”
But reality has the response covered:
Many European countries has a max wait time of 90 days for non-emergency elective surgery. If the wait is longer than that at a public hospital, the patient can choose to have the surgery done at a private hospital if there’s room at no additional cost. Emergencies are always treated immediately, of course. You can also choose to have a private top-up health insurance plan if you wish to always be treated at private hospitals.
