I am a former Canadian living here. My opinion is it depends on the province you are in. Alberta seems to be improving re joint replacement. Not so good with CT scans and MRIs-there are very long delays.

Given my advancing age (much closer to the grave than to the cradle),my curiosity and my copious free time I've decided to dig deep into Canada's health care system,focusing at first on waiting times,as discovered on official government websites and in reliable Canadian publications.I don't know how long you've been here...and away from Canada...but although Canadians and Brits seem to be resigned to waiting for months (or longer) for vital treatments I,as a lifelong American who's quite familiar with our current health system,can assure you that our people will not tolerate waiting months...or even weeks...for treatments for which we currently wait hours.The fireworks that result will be,shall we say,noteworthy.

More Press on Canada Care
