The number of Canadians who visit emergency departments across the country only to give up and leave before they receive any care has increased more than fivefold, according to new data collected by CTV News.

          I was worried so, but surely we wouldn’t go to a nation without healthcare to escape bad healthcare.

            Trade “free” but unavailable health care for higher buying power, and lower taxes, but the requirement of health insurance.

              Free but less available health care for completely unavailable healthcare. Poor people exist, yk.

      Canadians who think the USA have a better medical system than Canada have never had to deal with American insurance. Any criticism wrt wait times and staffing that can be levelled at Canada can also be applied to the US. The primary difference is that in the US you are paying through the nose for the privilege.

      Unless you are rich, then I imagine it is fantastic.
