canada isn’t far off from the states. what we don’t have in direct costs we make up for in wait times and things only covered by private insurance. If we don’t dust off the guillotines soon everything will end up privatised and america priced.
We have that in the US too. I waited 11 months to see a dermatologist, thankfully for something that wasn’t cancer. I got the bill an insurance covered $90 of the $425 bill… We wait too, and pay more.
Just trying to schedule a run of the mill physical exam. That thing you’re supposed to do every year. Those wait times are like 2-3 months out. I have great insurance it’s just the doctor offices are being run like businesses in the US now so they’re perpetually short staffed and over booked. Allowing investment firms to own hospitals and the such was such a mistake. These things should not be seen as investment opportunities.
Edit: There’s actually a tracker for hospitals owned by private equity firms.
