Canada is spending more on health care than ever. Whether Canadians are getting more care for their money is another question.
A new report from the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), an independent, non-profit organization that collects and analyzes data on Canada’s health-care system, projects health-care spending will reach a record $433 billion in 2026, or $10,398 per person, an increase of 4.8 per cent over last year.
For the first time since the pandemic, inflation-adjusted spending per person is expected to surpass its previous peak, reached in 2021.
