Im Canadian and despite the American conservative talking points, I’ve never had to wait anywhere near that long and definitely not for a critical injury. There are busy hospitals but there are also more of them so you have options many times.
We have however seen an erosion of our socialized healthcare by conservatives in power in that things keep being removed from coverage, and you have to go out of pocket on things that should be covered.
I also like to mention that it was in a very high end city in the Seattle area.
At 7am, I was considering leaving and waiting at home until a small clinic opens, but they finally saw me.
