Now here's the question I have for you: How many States are Federally mandated as the Provinces are in Canada to compile a database of average wait times for either specialist appointments or surgery wait times?
I've attempted beyond patience to find those and with the exception of Vermont, I cannot. So IF it's a given that there is no Federal mandate to compile those facts in the U.S. how do you or anyone stand on the merit of them being better than Canada's if they are nothing more than the results of random polls taken by any agency?
First, who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?
Second, being more like Canada would make you better in healthcare but it certainly wouldn't make you the best.
Thirdly, why when most of the things that are "lesser" in Canada are based on the principles of capitalism, do some US Citizens act like that makes us inferior.
I just don't get the problem.
No one thinks you are inferior, but some Canadians come here and say their health care insurance is the greatest, I will say it is good but not that good and with that said 95% of state of the art medical developments come from the U.S.

Please not the use of the word IF.
Do you have any theories as to why your wait time for the vaccine was so bad?
15-month viral disease (therefore testing every facet of each country’s political, social, and health system) and the U.S. has 3X as many deaths per million people than Canada.
And for God’s sake, Canada ain’t even some gold standard.
South Korea is at 37 deaths per million.
37!
You know, the country you and I have poured trillions of dollars into, at gunpoint, over the past 70 years so that Coca Cola could have a new market to sell poison to.
Trying to pass off the U.S. as a beacon of capitalism, esp. in regards to health care, is an affront to real capitalism.

More deflection. You refuse to stay on point on this topic; doing so would force you to acknowledge some unpleasant truths about shortcomings in your provinces' healthcare. I get that you do not want to do that.
Interested parties can review the official websites I've listed on the previous page to get answers to their questions about Canada healthcare wait times.

This is true too.
Imagine if we had to wait for socialized medicine to have come up with the covid vaccine! Yikes!
Canada and other nations' socialist systems exist merely BECAUSE the USA does. They don't need to drive innovation because they will get it from us.
It's the same way with defense. These nations don't need to spend much money on defense because they know the USA has them covered largely.

I have been saying the same thing all along but try and convince a Canadian of this.
