Long wait times have become increasingly common in Canada, leading some residents to travel outside of the country to have medical surgeries and procedures done sooner.

Just to note, these people are well off. If it was someone that doesn't have $12,862 (or the equity/credit score to take out a large loan) to pay for surgery in another country (with a working medical system), then they'll die of being poor, and I'm sure many people have already.
