Of course the situation varies from province to province since each of them has its own unique health care program, but my own experience with Quebec's version is similar to yours. There is a tiny bit of truth to the trash talk... non-urgent or elective procedures may indeed have a wait period, but it's not outrageous. And when was the last time you made an appointment with a US specialist for, say, tomorrow? The last time I saw a dermatologist I had to book two months in advance.
