Not on a theoretical level, but how would you practically have to pay costs, access specialist doctors?

Depends. I have had a bunch of specialist appointments for cardiologists, endocrinologists, reproductive health specialists and pulmonologists. The average wait for an appointment is about three months.

We are very fond of calling the Canadian system slow but my understanding is it's decently comparable to a lot of the States and is actually pretty impressive considering how spread out and small our population is.
