The Canadian single payer system is a target for American health insurance companies, and they would love to convince you there is a waiting list crisis.

There's a bit of information out there on the topic, do a little research before forming an opinion from a single source.

"A "waiting list" is a list that patients are enrolled in once they opt to pursue an elective procedure, assuming that they cannot get this procedure performed immediately. In Canada, waiting lists do NOT exist for emergency procedures. It is a myth that Canadians with serious, life-threatening illnesses are enrolled on a waiting list before they can receive life-saving therapies."
