The Growing ‘Loopholes’ Allowing Private Care in Canada’s Staunchly Universal System

It is true. Wait a year for an MRI in the public system or you have at least two local choices for one within a week or so in Calgary, but the costs I am told can be from $300 to 730.
How can this be a bad thing? Unions, plus bureaucratic empire building and featherbedding , and incursions by Big Pharma, have immobilzed and de-incentivized the public sytem to where it is likely killing as many as it saves, and making life miserable for people on waiting lists. .

Did anyone here watch the town hall from Edmonton last night? I watched the first from Red Deer on X and attempted to watch last night on FB but the hecklers and comments pissed me off so quit watching. after about 15 minutes. They are sure a different bunch north of me and I don't say that in a positive way from what I heard. I am sure Ganum will have something to say negative as he didn't watch from Red Deer but had lots to say.
