Sample deep-dive briefing

BC healthcare: spending is high, access is not.

The failure is access, not quality of care. An extract from a delivered briefing.

$10,439

Health spending per person in B.C., 2025, against $9,626 nationally (CIHI).

32.2 weeks

Median elective wait, referral to treatment, against 19.2 in Ontario (Fraser Institute).

1.26 million

B.C. residents with no regular provider (CBC).

Waiting is the rationing device

Hospitals and health authorities run on a global budget: a fixed annual envelope based on last year plus a negotiated increment. An extra hip replacement or inpatient day is a cost against that ceiling, not a claim the hospital can bill, so operating-room time and staffed beds are held to the funded volume.

The full briefing follows the money from the Ministry of Health's appropriation to the operating room, compares Ontario, Alberta and Quebec, and sets out what Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland do differently.
