Maybe someone from Canada/France/UK can chime in later. Id like to hear if the situation is different there for emergency care.

The one time I went to the emergency room at North Florida Regional the wait time was nearly 6 hours before we got seen.
In Canada I have never waited more than an hour to be seen in the 3-4 times I have gone.
