These are two of the reasons why over 52,000 Canadian patients traveled
abroad to get health care in 2014, according to the Fraser Institute.
That’s a 25 percent increase from the previous year, where an estimated
41,000 people traveled to get health care.

And we’re not talking about plastic surgery, which accounts for barely
0.3 percent of all patients in that branch. We’re talking about
(non-urgent) neurosurgery (2.6 percent), urology and internal medicine
(1.8 percent) and even cardiovascular surgery (1.3 percent). These
figures are only estimates, based on a survey on physicians throughout
the country.

Nevertheless, they confirm a heavy trend that has plagued the
provinces–they are the ones managing the health care, not the national
government–since Canada implemented the single-payer system in the
1960s: waiting times are impeding care.
