Perhaps I made a poor assumption, I initially did not think we needed facts to prove that the wait times in Canada were getting worse, and that being the reason for the increase of illegal private clinics in Canada.

I could only offer anecdotal information on wait times, beyond reading a report recently that had wait times in Ontario decreasing last year.
Personally, I've never had a problem - when my wife gave birth the only waiting was for labour to begin, y'know?
The facts as I know them are:
A) Canadians spend less on healthcare than Americans overall.
B) Canadian children are less likely to die than American children, at birth and during childhood..
C) Canadians live longer than Americans.
D) The US is the only "first world" country to not have universal healthcare.
Like I said, the Canadian system is not perfect, but if had to choose between the two systems, I'd choose the Canadian/European option every day.
