It absolutely negates it. You keep trying to come up with one example and then use it as the basis for a formula. It doesn't work like that.

that "one example" (which is comprised of a significant portion of the population) negates her thing and makes it clear that it's absolutely not a 1:1 comparison.

she said we have "few delays, good outcomes" compared to Canada - she didn't address why that is or might be. I never argued against the fact that we do, technically, have fewer delays and/or better outcomes; I discussed a key reason for those disparities that make the ditect comparison of numbers unfair. what she said does not negate what I said because it doesn't address or discuss what I said.

well, no, not like Canada, because while they may have a wait, eventually they can be seen. obviously that's not ideal because treatment sooner may be a game changer, but they at least have a chance. in the US, they're not going to get a fair sample to compare to because so many of us are unable to seek treatment in the first place. our wait time isn't lesser because we're better at it, it's lesser because a huge portion of us aren't seeking treatment in the first place.

think of it like 100 Americans and 100 Canadians need to see specialists based on medical necessity.

all 100 Canadians attempt to get an appt with a specialist; it will take a while to see all 100, but they're all scheduled. if they can only see 1 a day, it takes 100 days to see them all.

50 Americans decide not to even try to schedule with a specialist because they know they cannot afford it. another 25 want to see a specialist, but their insurance company doesn't want them to because they don't agree that it's medically necessary, despite their doctor saying so. the remaining 25 can schedule appointnents; again assuming once a day, all can be seen within one month.

America comes out looking speedy as hell, but are we really taking better care of our people? (hint: no)

It's also not first come first serve. You are prioritised based upon the severity of your illness. And that can be reassessed at any time.
 
Why is it a good thing that Amazon has decided to pull out of building it's headquarters in New York City like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is claiming? What am I missing here?
