I read the transcript but I have a couple questions. Not being Canadian I don't have an informed view so let me ask.
What is the quality of the Health Care as per training/capability/the availability of current technology... etc.?
Is this situation endemic throughout all of Canada or is it a localised phenomena?
What is the data set; is the average age high or is that area very poor or have less resources due to mis-allocation? Like we see in New Orleans here?

Remmember; they wait for a hip-replacement. Here without good insurance you don't get a hip-replacement..or you get treated in Belview by someone who went to medical school in Guatamala and has never seen the word titanium.

Everything must be put in perspective; most of us here are doing well and have insurance on this forum. Try getting treatment without it.
You will eventually get some kind of attention but it certainly won't be either timely or of any recognisable quality.
