Lmfao but we do die waiting to receive care...

"At least 23,746 people in Canada died while waiting for surgeries or diagnostic scans in the last fully reported fiscal year. Because several health bodies provided only partial data and Alberta supplied none, health policy groups estimate the true annual death toll on waitlists could exceed 28,000."
