I hate having to explain this to people when I talk about the insane cost of healthcare in the US.

meanwhile here it's generally not expensive, but we can't seem to come up with a reasonable way for foreign doctors to gain canadian credentials and continue to have waits anywhere from hours to coming the next day instead
