How long do you consider too long on wait times?  I have alot of friends in Canada that complain all the time about how long it takes them to get in for diagnostic testing.  An MRI of the knee = 6 months.  An abnormal mammogram, ultrasound took = 3 months.  And the stories go on and on.  I worked in QA for about 8-years on one of the largest HMO's here in the US.  One of our projects was a lesion tracking program for breast cancer.  Our acceptable time frame which we entitled "sleepless nights" was 48 hours from time of an abnormal mammogram until the pt. had an ultrasound.  I have worked in several imaging centers where an abnormality was found and additional tests were worked in that day.  From everything I have heard from many of my friends in Canada, is that just doesn't happen there.  A woman I know broke her leg skiing, and she spent 4 days on morphine before they could get it set, it was over a weekend and no ortho doc was available. 


This is what makes me say NO to the type of healthcare system, it reminds me of our county systems here where you go and wait and wait for treatment.
