Real People Denied Healthcare

same thing happens under universal system ...trust me...oh yeah ..he will get service..just take years to get it!!!!!!

My personal story
Sport injury..went to ED
after ungodly wait...yes..you have a broken Knee Mr. G
We cant do anythin here..you must see you primary
3 weeks to see primary
Then referal 13 weeks!
"yes you need surgury"...how is 14 months from now...good for you??

Yes start to finish..18 months!!! That's just my story and I am one of thousands!


PS . The system in the States sux too!..I wish i had some ideas

One of the solutions is an effective ombudsman program to advocate on behalf of patients.

I think an ombudsman would be hard pressed to correct this problem. It sounds more like the supply is not sufficient to meet demand. I doubt the primary was out fishing for 3 weeks or the surgeons were just sitting back for 14 months. It's more likely they were working hard on their current backlog of patients and cases. So perhaps Canada should just raise taxes so they can maintain more medical providers.
