You want to emulate our system, go right ahead. I've warned you guys for over a decade, from policing, loss of innovation to healthcare you will experience the same results.

A long wait for a woman who was very vulnerable to infection was a stark example of the problems in Ontario's emergency departments.

Christina Shehata was told she had a life-threatening condition soon after she arrived at Kingston General Hospital’s emergency department.
The 51-year-old with metastatic breast cancer had a high fever, and tests revealed she lacked a type of white blood cell that fights infection, putting her at further risk.

Diagnosed with febrile neutropenia, a medical emergency for cancer patients, Christina quickly received IV antibiotics and was told she needed to be admitted.

American liberals value Government Control of the health care system more that they do its efficiency or quality.

We are really not that far behind you. Trying to schedule a doctor visit is usually a 6 week wait where I live, unless you need something sooner, then they schedule you with a nurse-practitioner.

That is the new normal, see a nurse for your doctor visit.

Medicaid pays shit, and many doctors refuse to get involved with the program or take medicaid patients.

So what would he expect?

And this, BTW, is the program the left glorifies so much, especially the "medicaid expansion" during the reign of Hussein.

I went to the emergency room about 3 weeks ago and was seen by a doctor in about 30-45 minutes

Just so you know a "conservative" is running Ontario. Healthcare is a provincial issue and Ontario has been bankrupt for at least a decade. More indebt than California on a per capita basis.
