According to the AP wire, a patient in Canada's glorious health care system had to wait 3 months for an electrocardiogram (EKG). That's a 3 month wait for a 90 second test.
The average wait to get in to see a specialist or surgeon was 18 weeks.
Another patient became addicted to narcotics because he had to wait a YEAR to have hip replacement.
While Canada's system may promise coverage for everyone, actually getting the help they need seems to be an entirely different reality.
