I don't know that I have more choices, but I know that 100% of the time, I don't wait for an MRI. I have had ultrasounds, MRI's and catscans on 20 minutes notice to the lab. Its been as fast as my physician telling me to go to the lab across town and have an MRI and come back. Piece of cake, and I only pay a 15.00 copay. If my son suffers a knee injury, I'd rather get a diagnosis, have an MRI and schedule surgery within a few days. I see no reason to wait a month for an MRI.
I think it just boils down to what you know and what you're comfortable with. Your medical system is what you know, its what you're used to so its acceptable. Its like you think I have crushing taxes and I don't feel that way, probably because its all I know, and I'm used to it. (Though twice a year I'm quite grateful for prop 13 and my lowest in the nation property tax rate)

I'd hardly say that pleading ignorance would somehow mean that whatever you have is acceptable.
Conversely, it would be better if you didn't apply that argument to me. I'm fully aware of the foibles of the Canadian system. And even other systems.
