Peter St. Onge explains how government-sector healthcare in Canada is aging, lower-quality, and generally behind the times. After all, in Canada, as everywhere else, you get what you pay for.

Concierge and cash-only practices, walk-in cash clinics, medical tourism, and cost-sharing plans are just a few of the ways free-market approaches are changing the landscape. Our expert speakers will discuss several of these developments, and more.
