Show Notes

Is Canada’s “free” healthcare really free — or is it just failing taxpayers? In this episode of The Daily Canceled, we dive into a revealing and urgent discussion with Nadeem Esmail, Senior Fellow at the Fraser Institute and author of the 2025 report “The Price of Public Health Care Insurance.”

Host: Mike Wixson

Guest: Nadeem Esmail – Health Policy Expert, Fraser Institute

We cover:

• The true annual cost of public healthcare per Canadian family

• Why over 1 million Canadians walked out of ERs last year

• How Canada compares to Switzerland, Australia, and the U.S. on access, wait times, and cost

• Why Ottawa may be standing in the way of provincial innovation

• What real reforms could improve outcomes without raising costs
