HAH!

I can think of countless times that i've been VERY sick in Canada, and 2 hour waits would've been ideal, compared to what i had to put up with.

I remember one time, i had a really bad case of strep throat and the flu simultaneously and was forced to go home untreated after waiting for about 5 hours and having a nurse tell us that she still doesn't know when we'll be seen by a doctor.

I decided to go home, and come back the next day in which i waited about 3 hours again, but finally got to see a doctor. 8 hours of waiting, to get a 10 minute diagnosis and a bottle of pills.

Socialism fucking sucks....

Free Health Care? It depends.

Let's see, if I make $10 per hour and I know that the bill would be $120. I'd wait about 4-6 hours?

However, the $120 price is more than likely jacked up by government.

I've waited over 6 hours for my wife to be seen in the emergency room here in South Carolina on more than one occasion. I don't think we have ever waited less than 3 hours for "emergency" treatment and I doubt that our experiences are unusual for the rest of the country's emergency or urgent care rooms.
