Sorry, but non-partisan reviews show that Canada's system works better than ours does.

That explains why so many Canadians want to come down here for health care:

Given Canada’s health care system’s struggles with doctor shortages and long waits for procedures, it’s believable. But do Canadians really go to the U.S. for medical treatment?

While it’s not known exactly how many Canadians go to the U.S. for health care, according to a poll conducted by Ipsos in March 2024, 42% of Canadians would go to the U.S. and personally pay for routine health care if needed. That’s 10% more when compared to January 2023. Of those who responded, 38% said that they would travel to the U.S. for emergency care, a number that's up 9% from the previous year.

As for the book, you shouldn’t read it. Basic concepts like supply and demand aren’t for people like you.
