Canadians GAFfers? Need a fact check on what Trump said.
Depends on what you want to willingly believe. If you are dying, or will die within a close time frame, you will get seen immediately. In every other case, it depends on the province you live within, but generally you get put on a wait list which is constantly being re-prioritized.
It also depends on whether you go to a clinic or a hospital. If you are going to a hospital for a minor problem, you will end up waiting awhile, but if you go to a clinic you will be in and out within the hour. In addition, most people have Family Doctors and we have a large Clinic network which means its the first line most of us goes to. Because of this, we catch more problems when they are minor and get to them before they spitball into major problems.
But its free, and because of that we are more healthier by not having to worry about financial costs of healthcare.
