If we had 300 million people, the only thing that would go up would be the administrative costs but the system would still be what it is today, thankfully. 10X the people means 10X the tax revenue to run it. Take away the resources? Why would you do that when they are here? That is the backbone of the Canadian economy, that would be like saying take away money and shut down all for profit companies in the US.
People complain about wait times but people in the US I know pay ridiculously high premiums and still wait 6 hours in an emergency room. Myself, my family and my friends have never had to wait long at all for various surgeries, specialist appointments, physio, nothing. In fact, in my experience I have always had everything done in a few weeks, including a few surgeries.
