Private healthcare services have always been a part of Canada's healthcare system. It's grown more popular in recent years because of lengthening wait times, especially for surgeries deemed 'non-urgent.'
Long wait times are real and frustrating. It’s normal to feel stressed, worried about work, or just want your life back sooner.
