Canada's Healthcare system is sick (and costing us lots of money)

It's no secret that our healthcare system forces Canadians to wait in line for medical treatments.

We developed ELITE U.S. Healthcare™    to provide funding and help people get immediate access to the world's best healthcare .  

(Everyone knows someone who was forced to wait to see a specialist, or begin treatment.)

According to a just-released study published by The Fraser Institute : "Canada lost $1.08-billion last year in business-day economic activity due to excessive wait times at hospitals and time gaps between visits to specialists and receipt of treatment.

Long waits in emergency rooms and forcing Canadians to take time out their work days to visit multiple doctors has a cumulative effect not only on the quality of their care but on the overall productivity of the workforce, says the report.

When factoring non-work time, the Canadian economy loses out on an about $3.29-billion in productivity – a number that does not take into account the residual productivity losses associated with the energy and time family members may need to provide to loved ones who are not receiving efficient care."

The Financial Post covered the story this week. Read it here: http://business.financialpost.com/2012/06/20/sick-healthcare-system-made-canadians-lose-more-than-3-billion-in-economic-activity-in-2011-fraser-institute/
