Give me your source.
I live in Canada and it's not a first come first serve kind of system.
It's a "Holy shit, that's serious. go in"
If you go to a hospital because you have a gun shot wound, you are going to be put ahead of someone that is there because they are sick.
As for treatments such as chemotherapy and such, it's better to have to wait a while than to die because you cannot afford it.
The longest I have ever wait in emerge, was when I fell off a quad and bruised all the muscles from my hip to my right calf, late one saturday afternoon, so peak time for emerge visits. And even then I got x rays done, and I was into a room in about 4 hours, and had a velcro cast and was on my way back home by the 6 hour mark.
That may seem like a lot, but I was one of the lesser injuries, this is during a saturday afternoon-evening, so it's peak time from people doing weekend shenanigans.

sighhhh, I don't feel like explaining it. So I'll leave you with this. AMERICA IS THE ONLY SUPER POWER IN THE WORLD. CANADA WAS ONCE RULED BY THE FRENCH SO STFU. YOU'RE OUR HAT. With that said, thumb me down. I don't care.

That's cool. We burned down the White House in the war of 1812.

Canada, bitch.

Whoa whoa whoa
Back your shit up
They burnt down York first
Not to mention it was Canadian Soldiers under British generals.

if you really want to hurt them, remind them how much damage Canadians did in the first and second world wars before the Americans decided to join.

lol. We fucked the Brits up. Besides saying Canada burned down all that shit when we were barely a country is SOOOOO cool. Oh hey, nice space program btw.

You fucked the brits up?
When?
In the revolution?
You guys wouldn't have won without the french.

hahahahahahahahahah, the same french we beat down during when they helped the native americans? oh heyyyyyyy Canada is doing sooooo well with their SPACE PROGRAM.

Largest single addition to the ISS
Canadarm

What's that? I can't hear you over the sound of low taxes, a higher currency, and NASA. That and 100% occupation of the country. I completely forgot! more than half of your stupid fucking country is trees...

Canadian dollar is worth 1.01 american dollars
Our currency is higher.
Our taxes may be higher, but that gives us our universal healthcare.
So, yeah.

hahaha ohhhh shit. 1 penny. I guess we could afford that considering our taxes aren't butt-fucking us. Isn't yalls minimum wage really high too? I love yalls inflation rate! Hey, don't worry when yall actually start doing shit that's relevant to the rest of the world and ultimately fail, Big Brother America will be here to bail you moose-fuckers out. It's funny though. I've already won this argument. I'm American, we've done more for the world then you're piss ass country could ever hope to do.

Given the publics' reaction to our comments, and that this is an argument of opinion, I think I win.

Oh why? because I got a few red thumb and you received COPIOUS amounts of green thumbs? congrats bro! Honestly though, my country is the youngest and is considered the "World Police." I mean there's so much that could've been elaborated on, but hey...why embarrass you and your excuse of a country? I mean after all, the French ruled you guys.....oh and space program.

I don't know where you're getting the "without the french you wouldn't have won the revolution thing," probably from the Canadian education system. Regardless, that's false. We kicked their asses to mid-America and after we slaughtered the Brits, we bought that land from the French. It's funny because you guys never fought them. The wealthy French got tired of the shit ass land and left the poor peasant fucks to die. These poor peasant fucks became Canadians. You don't know much about history, do you? I'm gonna get red-thumbed because I'm expressing all of this in an arrogant manner. Not because my arguments suck. heyyyyy pssssttttt...NASA

HEEEYYY
PSSSTT
"French involvement proved decisive[10] yet expensive, ruining France's economy and driving the country into massive debt.[11] A French naval victory just outside Chesapeake Bay led to a siege by combined French and Continental armies that forced a second British army to surrender at Yorktown, Virginia in 1781. Fighting continued throughout 1782, while peace negotiations began.
In 1783, the Treaty of Paris ended the war and recognized the sovereignty of the United States over the territory bounded roughly by what is now Canada to the north, Florida to the south, and the Mississippi River to the west.[12][13] A wider international peace was agreed, in which several territories were exchanged."

"From 1776 France had informally been involved in the American Revolutionary War, with French admiral Latouche Tréville having provided supplies, ammunition and guns from France to the United States after Thomas Jefferson had encouraged a French alliance, and guns such as de Valliere type were used, playing an important role in such battles as the Battle of Saratoga.[65] George Washington wrote about the French supplies and guns in a letter to General Heath on May 2, 1777. After learning of the American victory at Saratoga, France signed the Treaty of Alliance with the United States on February 6, 1778, formalizing the Franco-American alliance negotiated by Benjamin Franklin."

"While French financial assistance to the American war effort was already of critical importance, French military aid to the Americans would not show positive results until the arrival in July 1780 of a large force of soldiers led by the Comte de Rochambeau."

Not to mention that France hosted the treaty negotiations.
Basically meaning that even when they didn't support you guys with soldiers, they supported you with money.
You guys would not have won the war, mainly because you didn't have the money and armaments to keep up the war.

SPACE PROGRAM GOIN STRONG, CUNT!

lol. I'm glad youre doing research. what do you expect to gain my winning this "argument?" everyone knows America is the greatest country on the planet. I'm really curious where you got that from. We purchased the Louisiana area from them when they were almost broke. We also kicked their asses so it's okay. Like a bully getting lunch money from nerds. They just left their shit people in Canada and thus, CANADIANS!

nice. in the year 1812. practically yesterday. It would be FUCKING HILARIOUS to see Canada attack the USA. We have 10 times as many people and an army that actually does shit.

THERE ARE SEVERAL SUPER POWERS IN THE WORLD, IF CANADA STOPPED TRADING WITH THE USA YOUR ECONOMY WOULD FAIL (harder than it is right now)
THE USA WOULDN'T HAVE WON THE REVOLUTION WITHOUT FRANCE< AND THE FRENCH ONLY RULED A SMALL PORTION OF CANADA.
YOU ARE OUR RAPE BITCH

hahahahahahaha wrong. Our trading with Canada is hardly influential at all. Sure it would cause a slight crash here. But that's because of exports on our part. You guys dont export shit. If America stopped buying shit from everywhere for a day, then the world's fucked. And what other superpowers? Not Canada for sure. The only other country that comes close would be China.

We own China and they own us. If we were really "owned" by China they would come in and just stomp our shit out. Of course I wouldnt expect dumbass Canadians to know that.

I've never eaten red meat in my life, nor am I a fat, white slob like most of you narrow minded bafoons believe. I'm glad I live in a country that has essentially created and re-created fast food. The same fatty substance that could very well feed the world. Besides, what has any other country ever done, I mean....really?

Where are you getting this from? I'm Canadian, and I barely wait at all when I go in, even for a checkup.

Think about it... In the USA you have to pay for everything.

Not check ups bro! I'm talking about more important things, such as chemo, organ transplants, and the such.

Well I wouldn't know about transplants or chemo, but I got my surgery rather quickly as well. Perhaps we can agree with the Anon above, it just depends on what area you're in regardless of whether you live in Canada or the US.
