I didn't grow up with Canadian health care so I appreciate it probably more than the average Canadian. I would not have survived the catastrophic event had I been in the US, thankfully I was here! When it is life threatening there is no wait time! I agree our system is as good and better than many, especially the US. Perfect? No , but no ones system is, I hear Americans have terribly long waits for instance in the ER's , that people die in the waiting rooms, how great is that system?

Good Grief! I had an MRI last week. It took two weeks to set it up. I had the results a couple days later. I can't believe I'm

Must be nice to live in a high population centre.
The biggest problem with Canadian Health Care delivery, is our thin population dispersal throughout most of the country.
Plus, the differences between provinces. For example, Alberta has a lot more private suppliers for things like diagnostic imaging, helping to make it run quickly and smoothly in areas with the population base to support private providers.
35th out of 942.
Keep in mind the sheer size of Canada, the number of communities, the far flung nature of our population.
To live in any of the top 50 cities is living in a centre where your medical access is quite different from other places.
My wife has mine well in hand. Fortunately for me, she rarely squeezes.
Yeah, and what makes it not so bad is that they'll likely remove what's under the skin and replace it with implants so the only scarring will be small and in the areolas. Hardly visible at all that way.
Would you go swimming if there was an 87% chance that you'd drown, be gobbled up by a shark, or whatever? Or place a bet on something that only had a 13% chance of you gaining from it? 87% is a pretty extreme risk.
