I've been in and out of the system with several sports injuries over the years and I'm absolutely happy with it here. There's always room for improvement and our system isn't as good as some other countries but it's not too shabby.
I've had to get 3 MRIs over the years and the last one was purely diagnostic so I was put on a 5 month waiting list. Now the waiting lists here work in like a triage in an emergency room. If you need one because of a stroke or other serious condition you get in same day or first thing the next day. If you need one just cause you're a paranoid retard you wait. My wait ended up being 5 weeks out of the 5 month max.
One thing you have to pay attention to from the anti-universal health care camp is that they'll always use stats from a particular province like Ontario to prove their point or more specifically a hospital in Toronto which is the worst in the country. It's like looking at the shittiest hospital in the US and saying it's representative of the whole system.
