What to Know: Wait times for Canadians in need of specialized health care continue to increase; last year, the average wait time from getting a referral to receiving treatment rose to 20.9 weeks.
The TPPF Take: Canadians are tired of long wait times and limited choices.
“The truth about single-payer schemes like Canada’s, or the proposed Medicare-for-All here in the U.S., is that they can’t deliver the quality of care each and every one of us desires,” says TPPF’s David Balat. “That’s why Canadians who can afford it come to the U.S. for care. We shouldn’t undermine our top-notch system with Medicare-for-All or other plans that will inevitably lead to lower quality and less access.”
