A new poll says long wait times lead half of Canadians to avoid seeing a doctor or going to the hospital.

The poll was conducted by Léger and commissioned by right-leaning think-tanks the Montreal Economic Institute, SecondStreet.org, and the Canadian Constitution Foundation.

The percentage of respondents who say they avoid consulting doctors because of wait times is highest among women, people over 55 and Quebecers.

    Ironically, people avoid the hospital in the US because we can’t afford it, and yet somehow the wait times in my country are still atrocious.

    Don’t let the pedo billionaires ruin your healthcare, Canada!

      Don’t worry, the “pedo-billionnaires wannabe” will take care of it, no need for the real thing
