now.. I'm not saying that people don't wait, I'm saying that it's an overblown issue. Besides being in the waiting room I have never had to actually wait for any type of issue.. When my doctor thought I had cancer I was in the hospital the next day for testing.. in the hospital the day after that for removal (couldn't biopsy as too risky and the tests were inconclusive), thank goodness it wasn't malignant BUT if it's an issue that cannot wait, then you typically won't wait. I did also acknowledge that ELECTIVE surgery's do indeed have long waiting times.
Is making health care a for profit business really a good thing for anyone other than shareholders?
