Healthcare Service Times (Patreon)

If you're sick and need treatment, don't wait—fly somewhere for care. A delay can be fatal.

2 cases where i have first hand experience

• My mother waited and it was fatal.

• Five years ago, my brother-in-law broke his leg in Canada and waited four days on a gurney in a hallway before treatment to get his leg set. He will never forget the pain and discomfort.

The Canadian system is likely even more strained now with the influx of new Citizens.

Canadians are now seeking healthcare in the U.S., with Buffalo’s MRI business thriving due to Canada’s long wait times.

Some Crzy Stats

• Average MRI wait in Ontario: 80+ days

• 2023–24: 15,474 Canadians died waiting for surgeries or scans

• Since 2018: ~75,000 died on waitlists

• Ontario ranks near the bottom of G20 for MRI units per capita

• Canada has 44% fewer hospital beds per capita than the OECD average

I've criticized the American healthcare system in the past for being costly. Back in the day, Americans would travel to Cuba and Colombia for medical care; now, Canadians are coming to the USA for it. Upside down world.
