===============
Yet you bypass the whole gist of the article, there are wait
times across Canada. Otherwise, why the hand wringing over it?
Besides, it was written for a(gasp) american Foundation...

No. The gist of the article is that the media hype about wait times is
exaggerated. Hence the comment about skewed statistics, etc. The entire
article says pretty much everything KMAN has been saying.

NOTE: "very long waits are the exception"

NOTE: "Very few patients who felt waits were "too long" wanted to see
additional public funds used to reduce wait times"

And, central to their argument, because they preface the article with
it, is the notion that wait lists and wait times are difficult to
define.

And I didn't bother citing the condemnation they have of the American
system because, as you keep saying, you're certanly no advocate for the
market system in health care either.
