Still claiming no one waits for treatment in Canada?

I never said that.
====================
Yes, you did liarman.
"...No one is waiting for treatment..."

Just because it is a sentence doesn't mean it is a complete
statement.
==================
Yes, it does fool. Your next sentence even emphsised what you
said in this one, liarman.

Example:

What do you mean rick is a bit of an idiot, that's not true.
He's got to be
the biggest idiot on the planet!

To paste only the first sentence and then claim that I don't
think rick is
an idiot would be just as dishonest as what you have been
doing with my
sentence about waiting.

Here is more of the context:

======

As many as 100 children in Newfoundland face 30-month waits
for
the
high-tech scans, said Geoffrey Higgins, clinical chief of
diagnostic imaging
at the Health Care Corporation of St. John's. While the
wait is
"less than
ideal," he said patients' conditions are being investigated
and
followed by
other medical means, and that anyone needing an emergency
scan
gets one.
======================
LOL Sure, 2 years into a wait he might really NEED emegency
treatment, eh? At that time he goes right to the top of the
list. Maybe too late, eh? At the least, he has suffered
more
than was medically necessary, and at worst is now beyond
treatment, or too weak to survive the treatment.

You're telling me there aren't poor people in the US in
isolated or slum
areas where they have a hard time getting a scan at their
convenience? Get
real.
====================
Another strawman, I see. We aren't talking about their
'convenience', we're talking about the convenience of the
medical
systam. When that 'poor' person arrives at a medical
facility in
need, then yes, I'm saying that they will not wait 2 1/2
years
for treatment.

No one is waiting for treatment. It's about a specific type
of scan in a
specific geographic area and the waiting is for
non-emergencies.
============================
LOL You just made my point for me, liarman. Your first
statement is declarative. 'No one is waiting for treatment.'

NO ONE IS WAITING FOR TREATMENT - IN THE EXAMPLE YOU WERE
TALKING ABOUT.
======================
That wasn't the statement you amde at that time, now was it,
liarman.

That's exactly the statement I made. See above. You blathered on about the
people in Newfoundland waiting 2 1/2 years for treatment, and I responded
that they are not waiting for treatment. And they aren't. So stop being a
scumbag, stop being a coward, suck it up and apologize. Or are you just too
weak?
