gratefeul for a system that challenges the Canadian constitution?

I can't avoid putting my two cents here.
Let's acknowledge something. The Canadian health care system is in crisis. It does not matter if you are an immigrant or a Canadian with 20 generations living in Canada. How is it possible that we need to accept a waiting list for normal screenen tests (i.e. MRI) that could be as long as six months? How come we must accept an ever reducing list of covered procedures by the health system? Can we tell the government to wait six months for our taxes to be collected????
So, the universal health care system in Canada is not providing the basics of a democratic system to Canadians; and that is choice. If the government fails to provide timely health services, as a citizen I should have the right to seek for it elsewhere (i.e. private system). Banning the private practice of medicine is inconstitutional in a country that praises itself of being a defender of human rights.
