A check-up on Canada's health care system
25 November 2017 - In 2005, one of us (KMW) watched a close friend go in and out of hospital in Canada many times.
An immigrant from one of the worst slums in Mumbai, India, he loved Canada and worked hard over many years to succeed and give his family a better life.
