Healthcare Wait Times

Or, why you're wrong.

This is important. Consider that in the United States, the average wait times are two orders of magnitude less than in Ontario. We can bitch and moan and wheel and deal about cost and payers until we all turn blue. That's one thing. But this is another thing entirely. Waiting for an MRI or bypass surgery for a month can kill you dead. Wait times are not a pawn on the board.

That is, unless you want to lower costs by killing people. (Murderers)
