Its certainly not "completely uninsured" but I'm not sure I'd say it's an unmitigated good.

If you want a sleep study and it's not life threatening, 1 year. If you want a consult with an orthopedic surgeon, 6-12 months followed by a surgury in 6-12 months. If you want a liver specialist consult, 6-12 months.

Sure, living in the US without insurance is definitely hazardous but I wouldn't compare having insurance in the US with healthcare in Canada.

A close family member of mine requested a sleep study in the past year and had one scheduled about a month out.

edit: clarifying to add, not for a life-threatening issue.
