If Canada became a state, Canadians would have ‘much better’ health coverage, says Trump

Let me add to your anecdotes then, no one I know has waited more than a month. My family has some serious conditions including Crohn's, Cushing's, cancer and epilepsy. It's like 5 people just in my family who haven't waited for any of it. And the most expensive part in all of it has been the Crohn's drugs coverage being shit on the provincial plans if you make too much money.
Thank you for your perspective. Yes I think people can find both extremes and everything inbetween depending on where they look, but I don't think that necessarily represents a majority of the population. I do think more can probably be done to reduce waiting times for people on either side though.

To be fair, I know people from Ontario who had to travel to Buffalo for diagnostics, because they had to wait for over 9 months in Ontario, and the cost of few thousand dollars was not that great to them.

Spring for the boot if it's an option. Way better than crutches.

It was a sprain just before Christmas so they gave us crutches she needed for a week, she’s at probably 80% better now.
We can go on evening walks again, so it seems to be healing well.

Ah good to hear she's on the mend. Well just to note for any future injuries, boots are way better. I used crutches for a day before adding the boot so I could go to work and stuff. They didn't even give me the option initially and I'm not sure why. It was far more comfortable having it on and I never wanted to take it off!

Agreed let's raise taxes and directly funnel it to healthcare. We don't need to join or be American to do that.

That would make sense. I was wrapping her foot in a tensor bandage daily for a few weeks and the pressure really helped.

The rich people won't have any better coverage, either. I know someone who had his daughter flown to the Mayo Clinic for mono. Yes, her case was very bad, yes, they were Canadian, no, that's not an option that is available to the majority of us, and no, being part of America won't appreciably improve their options more than that.

I spent thirty years in the States and seven years now in Canada. I can say with absolutely certainty that the US system is fucked. I've never paid a dime in Canada.

That is Doug Fords doing, he is purposely dismantling the system for his buddies when have private care setup

Don't forget Trudeau gave each province/territory billions in extra healthcare funding. Unfortunately none of the premiers would sign the agreement locking in that funding to healthcare alone ... so they can spend it any way they want.

I have a friend like this, goes to hospital and upset wait time for pulled muscle or rib bruising is ridiculous hours. I say make a doc or clinic appointment, but no, doesn't want to wait a week for doc or half a day at walk in clinic.. 2 weeks later still complaining. Well you could have been seen already. Lol

What is with the huge amount of idiots who would rather pay hundreds or thousands a month in insurance and healthcare costs just to save a couple hundred a year in taxes? Its actually unbelievably dumb.
