Long wait forces a cancer patient to buy the operation in land he fled

A patient goes back to Yugoslavia for a procedure he had to wait for in single-payer Canada:
". . . in a time of need for somebody in my dad's situation, Yugoslavia offered better and faster treatment. They could not understand that they would make you wait that long to treat a disease of such seriousness in a country such as Canada and neither could we."

Once again, this is an article about Ontario and doesn't necessarily apply to the rest of Canada. Health care is under provincial jurisdiction.

Once again, one case is picked out and held up as the norm for the entire system. At least the trend has been to use reputable newspapers lately!
