It's a teddit link so it's not contributing to reddit etc.

It getting harder to get timely appointment from recent years development in BC. It went from be able to book family doc in the same week to now about 1 month to 4 months away depending on how popular your doctor is. So with specialist it's gonna get harder.

Note: below is personal conversation with a doctor with no actual policy, budget allocation etc to back up claims.

My family doctor did warn about removing MSP since the first time(cut MSP in half), he said he had problem booking specialist for other patients(their quota are cut). And worry that further cut would affect GP as well. I haven't see him in person for almost over 2 years cause the booking difficulty.

I post this a while ago on reddit before the blackout and one posted that the budget is not cut after remove MSP. And since we don't know how the GP quota works, unless a GP doctor is willing to share info it's all guessing.
