>wait times

Wait times are complicated to measure.  For one thing in the US a lot of people don't go at all.  Those people don't get counted in the average wait time.  

Another thing is wait times for different things differ.  

Thats the core of my issue with the argument. In Canada, everybody has to wait a bit for certain procedures. In America, we just make sure that the poor simply can't get certain procedures done so the rich don't have to wait. Sure, wait times are better in the US, but which is honestly a more just system?
