I blew two tendons in my arm, walked in a clinic two days later when it wasn’t presenting like a sprain got x-rays that day and was off work for 6 months on a regime of physio and a return to work rehabilitation gym /physio and massage therapy program that ran monitored by specialists 5 days a week… And never paid a cent.
So the argument that socialized healthcare will cause massive delays doesn’t mesh with my personal experience living in such a system.
Mind you I live in a large Canadian city and the resources and scheduling would likely be much worse if I were in a small town but that’s the thing. What your population density is has more to do with wait times because staffing is a finite resources no matter who foots the bill.
