Median Canadian ER Wait Time 19 Hours

Wait Time Alliance has a report card(PDF) on Canadian health care:

the median wait time for patients requiring an
inpatient bed-that is, from the time the patient presented at the
ED to the time they were admitted to an inpatient bed-was
19 hours (average is 23.5 hours or nearly one full day)

This report is well worth your time. Socialism means waiting in line. The Chicago Way means paying a bribe to shorten the wait time.
