I believe it only exists in Canada due to successful lawsuits.
“I believe it only exists in Canada due to successful lawsuits.”
Canada seems to have the most restrictive law regarding private supplemental policies of the countries discussed in the article. I suppose that is why almost every orthopedic surgeon in my area (far from the Canadian border) has Canadian patients.
Of course it’s BS. Take it from this ex-Canuck, the idiot is half right...you can purchase technically, “private” insurance but the provincial govt (they are mostly anti-American/capitalist morons) will make your life a living hell. You may buy half, but half HAS to belong to Canada, in case you require surgery. The country doesn’t like it when they are out of the loop and not make money...
