The Waiting Game Marketplace : Season 50 Episode 3

As long wait times cause undue pain and suffering, Marketplace takes a hard look at why Canadians can't get the surgery they need. We follow along as a teenage boy waits nearly two years to get his back fixed, his body becoming more deformed with each month he waits. It's a crisis that has some doctors pushing for private care, while others urge Canadians to keep their faith in the public system. We investigate the solutions.
