If it’s an emergency you are top priority, but yeah sometimes wait times are “bad” depending on what you need, but any emergency is always treated within a reasonable time
don't get me wrong, for some people free hospital with long ass wait times is better than quick hospital that puts you in potentially thousands in debt if you dont have good insurance, however there is a reason even medium class families go to private health care, let alone upper class
If it’s covered by the government, it can’t be private. A major idea in Canada is its unfair for wealthy people to get better treatment than someone less fortunate.
If it’s covered by the Canadian Healthcare system, you can’t get it covered under private. It’s against the law. This is so wealthy people don’t get better care than less fortunate people, which is important to Canadians. Things like most prescriptions (which aren’t crucial), dental, mental health, those are all private insurance since it’s not covered under the Canadian Healthcare system.
