It has nothing to do with venue. It has to do with resources and doctors. Those resources and doctors are limited and therefore quite rightly distrubuted based on need (i.e., where they are needed to save people's lives, not on stitches) rather than based on who can pay the most.

If you're not seeing attempts to make the Canadian healthcare system better, I don't know what to tell you. In my opinion, that topic receives more attention than any other topic in the national discourse. It is a national obsession.
