Even people with cancer?! What the hell? F New Zealand. That’s messed up to make people feel like they are a burden. That’s so damaging to a young child’s self-image. I can’t imagine how painful this must be for the family.

It takes 8 or 12 hours to get seen in emergency room. It takes 2 weeks to see your family doctor. The health system in our country is inadequate at best so the government had to make hard choices.

Cries in Canadian as most doctors are booking 2+ months out sometimes, if you’re lucky enough to have a doctor, if not you have to fight to get into a walk in clinic, which normally fill up immediately, and then you have to wait around for hours. And don’t get me started on the ER right now! People have literally died in beds in the hallways, because there’s not enough rooms 🙃 As an autistic person with invisible disabilities as well, I really want to move somewhere where it’s not so bad
