...stoked the leftist love-in with his documentary “Sicko.” When a few Canucks objected to his portrayal by pointing out the long waiting lines for treatment, Moore fired back by calling them “ingrates.” In 2007, the average patient in Canada waited more than 18 weeks between seeing their family doctor and receiving the surgery or treatment they required. A “brain drain” is also presently in effect: Better career opportunities in the United States entice many talented Canadian doctors to leave home and head...
