I have a friend in Canada that has had several procedures done in a timely manner. The key there was also that they got done and were not denied. My aunt waits for months on approval and then gets denied. She's been waiting since April for her pain medication to be approved.
Socialized health care isn't perfect but at least it doesn't say if your not rich enough to pay we will kick you to the curb to die. Everyone pays, everyone benefits. With our insurance for profit system just because you pay doesn't mean you will get the benefits in fact it's proven that if you really need it, you will not get what you paid for.
