"Everybody knows he wants a Canada-like system where people wait months for a doctor's appointment--if they don't die first."

That is completely false. In Canada if you can afford it you can drive to the Mayo clinic in Rochester for treatment.

Where Canada fails in treating patients is diagnostic medicine. Most Canadians that die waiting for treatment do so in the backlog of diagnostics.

The backlog in diagnostics has proven to be a great cost saving tool for the system.
