Canadians have had enough of their single-payer system and want some changes:
If the health-care system cannot access the resources necessary to speed along two such serious diagnoses, how hopeful can that make the rest of us about ever receiving proper medical care when it matters most? I fully support the claim of both these patients ““ if Ontario doctors are so impeded by lack of resources within the system, then OHIP should pay for patients with life-threatening diagnoses to go anywhere the proper work can be done. Better yet, let’s get going with the development of two-tier health care.

Nice try, my dear Canadian friends. You may want private options, but your ruling class bureaucracy will never allow you freedom of choice.
Your only hope is in he courts, and reform (if any) is years away. In the mean time, try not to move too far from the US border.

I was working on the oil rigs and making enough money to easily pay for the diagnostic tests, but thanks to our current state of affairs, it took me a year to find out the facial numbness was caused by MS.
Good Lord, I hope change will come, in spite of your nay-saying.
