Wednesday Morning Rant

Government Efficiency

This is not going to be a SOTU post. I managed to stay awake for it - and it was very good and I recommend you watch it if you missed it (or at least watch the conclusion) - but it's too late to write anything about it that will be worth reading.

While "government efficiency" is usually viewed as an oxymoron and said with one's tongue firmly planted in his cheek, it does exist in some cases. Where the thing in question is something that the citizens of the country might want or - even worse - need, the wheels of government tend to grind very, very slowly. These things are also how most people interact with the government and so it is the most common perception. There is, however, an opposite scenario.

When the thing is for the government's own benefit, it can move quite quickly. When the thing is for the government's own benefit and bad for the citizens, it can move in the blink of an eye. It's all about motivation. For a prime example of this, we can cast our eyes north and look at Canada, and specifically at Canadian medicine. Medicine, after all, is something people tend to want and need - and in Canada, it's mostly state-owned.

It is no secret that "Canadian medicine" and "waiting" have gone hand-in-hand for a long time. Late last year, the Fraser Institute published a study about medical wait times in Canada. The findings can be summarized in one word: bad. They break it out by procedure category and in two pieces: the amount of time between referral by a GP to a specialist, and the time between seeing a specialist and beginning treatment. I won't go over it exhaustively, but will pick a few examples.

At the low end of the waiting list is oncology. "Radiation Oncology" has a 1.8-week median wait time from referral to specialist, and a 2.4-week wait time between specialist visit and starting treatment for a 4.2 week median total. "Medical oncology" comes in similarly, at 2.2 and 2.5 weeks, for a total of 4.7 weeks. Canada has been working on cancer, and it shows.

Outside of cancer treatment, which is an outlier, cardiovascular surgery is the next-lowest. It has a referral-to-specialist median wait time of 8.8 weeks and median specialist-to-treatment time of 1.9 weeks - if it is considered "urgent." If it is considered "elective," the latter median wait time is 10.8 weeks. So either 10.7 or 19.6 weeks total. Not great. I hope your ticker isn't too bad. But it could be worse. You could need gynecology.

Gynecology has a median referral waiting time of 25 weeks, and a median wait time of 15.6 weeks after than for treatment to begin. 40.6 weeks. Nearly 80% of a year spent waiting for many gynecological procedures. If you're looking for a "War on Women," don't bother looking on this side of the border. Just cast your eyes El Norte.

But that's only one side of the story. There are parts of Canadian medicine that are astonishingly fast and efficient. You might wait months for gynecology and nearly a full year for neurosurgery, but you won't have to wait for everything. You will not, for example, have to wait to die. Canadian medicine is nice and quick on that front. Yes, of course this is about MAID - "Medical Assistance in Dying." It's Canada's state-sponsored Kevorkian program.

According to the recent report from Ontario, MAID has remarkable efficiency since the mandatory 10-day cooling-off period between MAID request and execution (literally) was repealed in 2021. Per the report, 2024 saw major speedups. Of 4,528 Ontario MAID requests in that year, 3,749 of them - 82.8% - were completed within 90 days. That's pretty good as compared to most specialty medical procedures in Canada, but that masks the really high-speed bit.

Of the 3,749 MAID executions, 154 of them (4.1% of completed requests; 3.4% of total requests) occurred on the day after the request. Snappy indeed, but it could still be faster. 65 of those deaths (1.7% of completed requests; 1.4% of total requests) occurred on the same day. Now that is speedy service!

If you need a knee replacement, your combined median wait time in Ontario is about 34 weeks, or 238 days. If you're depressed over your chronic joint pain, MAID can get you taken care of in about a third of that time. If you're really lucky, they'll put your toe tag on you within a week.

See? Efficiency. All it takes is the proper motivation.

There is a Medicare youtuber I watch who, when explaining the costs of healthcare, said that it all boils down to access, technology, wait times, and cost. You can optimize for three. The US prioritizes 1 - 3. Other countries prioritize cost at the... cost... of one of the other areas.

25 When government controls healthcare people that need it are an expense taking money away from the things they care about like grifting and bribing immigrants to vote for them.

So they'll minimize those costs as much as they can. And frankly since the Canuckistanis and Euroniks apparently will stand by and take any outrage this will continue until all they get are pain pills and MAID

The docs (in B.C.) would not put him on the transplant wait list, so he elected MAID instead, when his liver became so bad he could not carry on. I'd have told him, "shit, Andrew, sell your house, and your RV, and fly to India or China, and get a transplant for cash.

There is something to the fact that a lot of these chicks like the idea... not of rape explicitly, but rather being... forced in a way. 'Shown what they really want.' Forced, but explicitly not forced, because they want to have it done. That seems to be part of the milking farm or why the Handmaid stuff seems to have so much attraction for certain women.

But you gotta figure that nothing solves the puzzle like the President of a friendly country inviting you to a major event to commemorate your daughter's death and promise justice in the matter, and looking at a room full of scowling faces so consumed by their petty hatreds that they refuse to even acknowledge you.

It's interesting that the Canadian communist government came up with MAID as the acronym for their state sponsored murder program. Like it's cleaning up unwanted human debris.

When the Covid vaccine first became available, an "equity commission" convened by the State of Oregon concluded that old people in Oregon were just too white, so young, healthy minorities should get the vaccine ahead of the eighty-year-olds.

The State of Oregon did not accept that recommendation (this time), but Oregon did provide the vaccine to all the members of the teacher's unions ahead of the eighty-year-olds. (Oregon still kept the schools closed, of course.)

Yes.

Thus, I suspect, the push for rapid service. It used to be the law that there was a mandatory 10-day waiting period. They repealed that part of it, which is what the Ontario study looks at.

They don't, however break it out in detail for within 10 days (the old cooling-off period). Based on the chart they provide and some estimation therefrom, however, it looks to me like about 1,700 done within the old waiting period.

So somewhere in the neighborhood of 40% of all MAID requests were serviced *within* the old legally-mandated cooling-off period.

Not exactly, but it's mostly forbidden for the public health system to pay for it, so buyers pay out of pocket.
Private healthcare of course upsets liberal-minded people, because they read a liberal rag that asserts it's unfair that wealthy people can skip the line, blah blah blah. Well guess what, 98% of Canadian doctors are public providers, and poor people *still* don't get what they need because of how poorly things are run. And it's only gotten worse over the last 10 years, an undeniable crisis right now, and the 2% of private doctors can't be blamed, the USA can't be blamed, Trump can't be blamed, etc.

The first is when you get stopped by a cop...and the cop is armed. The second is when you renew car tags.

1. Not standing when asked to support Americans over illegals.
2. PDT pointing out the massive fraud in MN, OH, CA, etc. with Trump also saying the Somali Pirates and Omar and Talib getting hysterical and screaming at him. Really good look.
3. Trump calling the Dems cheaters to their faces and calling for the passing of the SAVE act. Underscoring Mandami of NYC requiring 2 forms of ID to just shovel snow.
4. Brilliant camera work showing Dems in the wild doing what they do best - being obnoxious, asleep, stupid.

Overall, PDT highlighting the greatness of America while Spanberger looked and sounded like an albino Karen HOA nightmare.

250 The docs (in B.C.) would not put him on the transplant wait list, so he elected MAID instead, when his liver became so bad he could not carry on. I'd have told him, "shit, Andrew, sell your house, and your RV, and fly to India or China, and get a transplant for cash. The Uighur whose liver get ain't going to care; the PRC would have killed him anyway."
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at February 25, 2026 11:15 AM

My understanding is that you don't have to die to donate your liver to someone. They take like a third of it and it grows into a full-sized-liver while your liver regenerates.

258 Government Efficiency
________

Milton Friedman's four ways to spend money:

1. You spend your own money on yourself – You have a strong incentive to economize and get the highest value for your dollar, as you directly bear the cost and enjoy the benefit.
2. You spend your own money on someone else – You care about the cost but may not prioritize the recipient’s preferences (e.g., buying a birthday gift). The recipient may not value it as highly as you think.
3. You spend someone else’s money on yourself – You have a strong incentive to maximize personal benefit (e.g., a business expense account lunch), but little incentive to economize, since you aren’t paying.
4. You spend someone else’s money on someone else – This is government spending, where the spender has minimal incentive to control costs or ensure quality, leading to inefficiency.
