The following video from TED Talks explain how Canada’s System Care System. Here is the summary from Allison Hunt’s speech:

  • Health care system in Canada is free.
  • 10 months waiting to get appointment with surgeon to get x-ray.
  • 18 months waiting to get appointment for surgery.
  • If you want to get in front of the line, work as volunteer for the communities.

PS: When I got a dermatofibroma surgery in Canada last year, I had also to wait about 6 months. First, I had to make appointment with dermatologist, which took 2 months. Then, I need to make appointment with the surgeon, which took another 2 months. Finally, I had to wait for the surgery, which took 2 months again. Anyway, this is what you get for free service.
