Wait times for health care in Canada have lengthened considerably over the past two decades. Across 12 major medical specialties, the estimated typical wait time has risen from 9.3 weeks in 1993 to 18.2 weeks in 2013. These inordinately long waits, among the longest in the developed world, have become a defining feature of the Canadian healthcare experience.

Fraser Institute News Release: Canada’s health-care wait times hit 22.6 weeks in 2020—longest ever recorded
Also, the bottom chart is the median average number of WEEKS , ( NOT DAYS , BUT WEEKS ) waiting to get care by Canadian province
oh and by the way , the U.S. has about 9 times the population of Canada , so it seems it ends up close to a wash as to the percentage of people dying in the united states due to lack of healthcare and people dying in Canada still waiting to get their life saving healthcare. We have " 45,000 deaths " per year due to lack of coverage while Canada has about " 4,000 deaths " per year just waiting to get a life saving procedure .
