The allocation of medical resources is a political-bureaucratic decision in Canada, not a consumer choice. Instead of rejoicing that fewer Canadians are waiting for some procedures, we should be asking our governments why any delays to accessing necessary medical care are acceptable. Research consistently shows that there are little or no reported waits in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium and Germany -all of which have the same social goals as Canada: Universal access to health care.
