  • 51. Canada's Health Care System On Life Support: How Did It Get So Bad and What Can Be Done To Fix It
    Feb 20 2025

    Canada's health care system is supposed to be the envy of the world yet millions do not have a primary care practitioner, emergency room visits take hours and hours and thousands die while on waiting lists for life-saving treatments and surgeries. Was it always this bad? Is it getting worse? How did we get here? What countries are doing health care right and what can we learn from them? Emergency room doctor @drshazmamithani and family physician-scientist Dr. Tara Kiran help us understand how today's health care system was created, what's working and what's really broken. Then, solutions as to how things could be made better and what we can learn from countries like Denmark and the Netherlands.
