There is a massive trade off represented by the Canadian healthcare system ... While more people are covered in the Canadian system a lot of people have no ability to get a GP; there are long waiting lists for Specialists, diagnostic tests, surgeries, and emergency care; and costs are still escalating at an unsustainable pace, and at the current rate it is unlikely that we will be able to afford healthcare within 10 (or so) years. |
Many parts of the excalating cost and bleak outlook are all a result of the US and the effect they have on Canada's available doctors and nurses.
