Alberta, Canada, has a waiting list web site where you can get current information on the expected waiting time for anything from cardiac surgery to radiation and therapy.
Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery at the Univ. of Alberta hospital has, for instance, 150 patients waiting, with most patients (90%) receiving service within --- 8 weeks. Priority 1 (undefined) patients have estimated waiting times for physicians of 3, 5, 4, 4, 2 weeks. (Yes WEEKS, not days).
These times are not for emergency care, but, then Bill Clinton's wasn't either. It would not have been even if we had accepted Hillary's health care that wanted to duplicate the Canadian system. It's only the rest of us that would have to wait 2 weeks, 3 weeks, a month, or 5 weeks for the same procedure.
