Recently came across a post where a blind person claims to have suffered blindness due to the buecratic red tape of the Canadian healthcare system

this comment specifically:
Actually, it was not in the US, it was Canada of all fucking places because there was a Doctor shortage on account of a lot of medical personnel quitting because they were overwhelmed during COVID. At least with America, if you pay, they will promptly fix it. However, with a tax-funded medical system, there's a lot of buerocratic red tape on deciding what is in a emergency, sort of like what one would expect from an army triage unit, deciding who lives and who dies, or in this case, deciding who gets to survive a few more years of congestive heart failure versus a young, otherwise healthy person lose his vision. They see a 75 year old who has one foot in the grave as a higher priority. The 23 year old can learn to live with reduced quality of life.
Could this situation happen in a US hospital? How is the Canadian healthcare system different?
