Who's Going to Heal Healthcare (and How)?

Why are Canadians forced to wait more than a year for a hip replacement? Why does it take 18 months to get an MRI? How is it possible that 6.5M Canadians can't even find a family doctor? The provinces point the finger at Ottawa, while the feds point out provincial jurisdiction. At the end of the day, who's going to heal Canada's healthcare crisis?
