If you're dying or in critical condition, you'll get treatment now. There is a problem with non-emergency cases taking a long time to go through the system (especially major and complex procedures, because I've never waited anywhere near 7 months). But the solution to this is to stop the provinces from trying to sabotage public healthcare, then train more doctors and make systematic improvements. Not insert layers of private industry middlemen whose life's calling is converting human suffering into cash at maximum exchange rates. Everyone I know here would gladly take our system over yours.
