OT <We understand some even die in that queue >
I went to see a doctor here in the States last year. I didn't know it in advance, but he had scheduled everyone for 9 AM and then called for the patients one by one. Around 12:45 PM, a fed-up older gent went to the window and yelled "I was 89 when I got here but now I'm 90".

Efficiency and healthcare delivery don't intersect anywhere in the world. It's horribly inefficient in Canada and the US; the only difference is ours is more expensive and a bit better.

Some die everywhere, see the poor Mexican girl given the wrong blood type organ, in the "best" medical system in the world.

Bet more die in the US for lack of funds to cover their medical needs than in Canada waiting in queue.
