10-28 weeks for an MRI!!!!!!!! it should take no more than a day or two

[Jeff Chandler]

Shortest waiting time -- oncology, 4.9 weeks.

Now that's scary!

When I called the hospital one day at 4:30 pm to schedule an MRI (it was not an emergency), they asked if I could come in at 10:30 pm for it. 6 hours! Not even a single day's wait.

"10-28 weeks for an MRI"

I was doing a job in Seattle in '99-01 and kept running into Canadians who were down for an MRI.

They told me there were more MRI machines in Seattle than in all of BC.

If you read Britain’s ‘Daily Mail’ on a regular basis you cannot help but be even more appalled at what ‘universal health care’ doth wrought!

The poor Brits are worse off than the Canadians.

, by law, cannot be purchased privately in some provinces, including Ontario.

I thought there was a story some months back that indicated the Canadian equivalent of a supreme court...or at least a judge (I don't recall exactly)..declared it unconstitutional to not allow citizens to purchase health care privately.

Perhaps that was a provicial decision and not country-wide.
