FACTOID:

The average Canadian now uses one more prescription per year than they did five years ago. That represents a greater than 17% increase in the number of prescriptions per covered individual.

So How Do You Milk the Cow
Through the Fence?

As discussed in the 2005 International Comparison of Health Care Systems by the Fraser Institute, Canada was listed as the third highest spender of the 27 countries within the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) with universal access to care surveyed on healthcare, lagging behind only Iceland and Switzerland.

So what is a Canadian to do? Canada is the third highest spender yet cannot provide access to care, the Supreme Court ruled that they must allow private insurers to market services within the Canadian system and the Government of Canada criticizes and refuses to act on the decision. So how do Canadians access the care they need when the Government puts up barriers to care. How do you milk the cow through the fence?
