Canadians are the only people in the developed world forced to wait for government to provide them necessary medical care — except the wait lists are long, their chances of dying are higher and the quality of care rates poorly by international standards. Dr. Brian Day has been on a decades-long crusade to free patients from the life-threatening medicare monopoly. He discusses with guest host Brian Lilley how Canadian medicare went so wrong. And he explains why he’s fighting all the way to the Supreme Court to free Canadians from broken government health-care promises, and for the right to choose, which is allowed by every other universal health-care system on earth.
