I live in Canada, and have never had to wait more than 1 day for a doctor's appointment (never needed same day but I'm sure I could find someone) and 2 hours in an ER (most extreme example and I had a minor cut on my eye so I was de-prioritized since people needed actual immediate help. In every other case it's been less than an hour). My pediatric heart surgeon was one of the top 5 in north america and I had a hernia closed up within a week of diagnosis.
My medications are heavily subsidized to the point of insignificance, I've never spent anything on actual procedures/hospital stays and I pay less in taxes than the comparable bracket south of the border.
Stop using us as some "Socialist Deathcamp" example and look at the numbers. You basically live in Sudan compared to me. Provide statistics that prove otherwise.

Don't try to bullshit a bullshitter.
The median wait time in Canada to see a special physician is a little over four weeks with 89.5% waiting fewer than 90 days.[55]
Dr. Brian Day was once quoted as saying "This is a country in which dogs can get a hip replacement in under a week and in which humans can wait two-to-three years."[58]
