How long does it take to get, say, open heart surgery in this socialist

I can get in the operating room in Charleston, SC, USA in about 36 hours,

It's the darnedest thing: Canada and Britain spend less than one half
as much a proportion of Gross National Product on Heathcare than we do
on Healthcare. Both of their Healthcare operations are run by
bureaucracies. And they BOTH live a little longer than we do.

But su they have to wait longer for surgery, and for routine
medical visits.
So I guess what it boils down to is this: OUR free enterprize health
bureaucracy is even more inefficient than their socialized
bureaucracies.
