I'm up here in Canada - my wife's uncle had to wait three months for cataracts surgery, cataracts surgery is good in the long run and extremely non-urgent. He also had to have a rotoplasty in his heart to clear out plaque, he was booked into surgery within a week - my wife's aunt fell off a cliff (a small one) and got a concussion, she had excellent care.

In Canada non-urgent procedures have moderate wait lists, and urgent procedures get immediate attention. In the US monied patients get immediate attention and poor patients get long wait lines.

Honestly, this rationing BS needs to stop, the people spreading it are either maliciously disingenuous or misinformed and I'd bet quite a few are acting maliciously.
