Canadians starting to demand the privatized USA Health Care system.......

71. They are old.

The government has since put in a lot of money into reducing wait times. And it's just one province and only a few choice procedures. Cherry picked info.

Plus, most people get put on the list when they don't 'need' it. IE my dad wasn't even on anti-inflammatories or pain killers when he got on the list for his hip. Got his new hip a month or so later. So it's not like we have all these people who are in wheelchairs and walkers popping painkillers waiting 6 months for knee or hip replacements.

Why would I resent it? Because, if you are using your money to jump the line, to set up a 2-tier system and to fancy yourself as superior, then it bothers me. It's arrogant. Canadians aren't much for arrogant people. You aren't any more important that anyone else. When it comes to health care, I DO begrudge people who step on others to serve themselves first, and that's exactly what queue jumping is.
