A friend recently suffered a cardiac event in the United States. He is doing fine now. Fortunately, he has great travel coverage ( it’s what I do)
Within a few hours, he received medical treatments and diagnostics that would have taken weeks, maybe months, in Canada. Such is the nature of the Canadian health care system…. and those waiting lists are getting longer;
There are options to waiting for care in Canada. One option is to buy coverage for treatment NOW anywhere in the world. Other options involve researching the Canadian system and finding the care centres, with the right resources, to help you solve your failure of health in a more timely manner.
