A new report released Thursday says that privatization of health care in Ontario won't reduce wait times but may actually increase them.

The only people who believe that wait times would be worse under a public health care system are people who don't currently need to access health care under a private health care system. I'm an American who unfortunately needs to see specialists relatively frequently and the wait times are already atrocious.

I'm in Quebec, it's 12 to 18 months to see a specialist...

Wildly varies based on your specific health profile, and above all, what kind of specialist.
