This is a crock.

While US waiting times are growing, I could easily see a dermatologist here within days, not weeks. Same is true for any specialty I might need. My sister-in-law recently saw a spine doctor in the morning who referred her for an MRI -- which she received the SAME afternoon. Try THAT in Canada.

Certainly, in some cities, the waiting lines are going to be longer than in others. But the problem in Canada, UK, and pretty much any place you have socialized medicine is going to be longer than the US. Why? Because the doctors in those countries come HERE to practice medicine.
