Seems like a simple enough case that there can be a fact of the matter. Either U.S. wait time are shorter than single payer systems on average or they're not; no need to rely on anecdotal stuff.
Is there anyone that can point to some good data on the subject?
Honestly? I can't do the searching for you this time, but it's all the top results when you look for average wait times between countries. The data is easy to access. Pretty much all developed nations have similar numbers, with wide variation between specialties.
