Welcome to socialize healthcare. You know who always benefits in such a system? Government employees of all stripes. Just ask the RCMP, OPP and TPS how much they are stealing. The system is truly bankrupt with little innovation or private business expansion.

'It's insane': Ont. patient told she'd have to wait 4.5 years to see neurologist

An Ontario doctor says health-care wait times have reached “insane” lengths in the province, as one of her patients faces a 4.5-year wait to see a neurologist.

When Dr. Joy Hataley, a family practice aneredsthetist in Kingston, Ont., recently tried to send a patient to a neurologist at the Kingston General Hospital, she received a letter from the specialist’s office telling her that the current wait time for new patient referrals is 4.5 years.

The letter said that, if the delay is “unacceptable” to Dr. Hataley, she should instead refer the patient to a neurologist in Ottawa or Toronto.

Dr. Hataley, who has been outspoken about wait times and other issues plaguing Ontario’s health care system, said the wait time “shocked” her.

She wanted to shock others as well, so she tweeted a photo of the letter and tagged Ontario Health Minister Eric Hoskins and Kingston-area MPP Sophie Kiwala.

Just wait until they can't do a trip to America for treatment. Customer service in monopolies only moves in one direction.

Every Canadian I know, love their healthcare and claim, Americans are getting lied to by the healthcare industry and politicians who are on the take.
Canada’s healthcare is rated better than the US’s and it’s about half the cost!
It seems the easily manipulated live in the world of ignorance.

Additionally, the article doesn't state that the patient didn't receive treatment.
