That article you linked says that wait times went up in some segments and down in some.  Overall, they said wait times need to be fixed.  Interesting though, there are more doctors per capita in the US than there are in Canada.  Also, there are more specialists here...which is the wait times the article was referencing.

 

I'd expect that number to be lower in the US.

It’s talking about the wait times in Canada. On average they went up from a year ago.

My wife and I are looking at medicare plans now - yes I'm that old.   The medicare part A + part B (costs $145/mo)and medicare supplement (cost $140/mo) ends up costing basically the same as my employee heath care. However the medicare side comes with no co-pays and only a $198 deductible. Currently I have all of those copays and a $3k deductible (had to raise my deductible because the premiums keep jumping sky high each year).  If Bernie's plan is any thing like this - then count me in.

Bernie's plan is actually better than current Medicare. No deductibles, no copays, no out of pocket for drugs plus dental, vision, and hearing are included.

No more than $200 a year for prescription drugs plus home healthcare is covered also.
