I've read and heard a lot of negativity about our "Free health care" especially long wait times, well I can say first hand about my experience.
When I had a heart attack and double bypass it was about 6 months from heart attack to bypass, and that was about 15 years ago. More recently with my leg issues the time was about 4 weeks from diagnosis to surgery.
Most recent lung cancer diagnosis to numerous tests (pet/ct scan, brain mri, and biopsy) was about 2 weeks from seeing family doctor to specialists to tests.
All things considered I think that is fantastic. So all in all our system works quite well.
That being said this is my experience and my opinion.
