A report made available at the end of April 2018 discusses how preliminary figures show faster growth in the amounts governments in Canada are budgeting for healthcare over the past three years. These figures likely understate the acceleration, since later figures typically reveal that provinces and territories have overshot their budget targets. These budgets have tended to grow faster than Canada’s economy, raising concerns about the fiscal sustainability of that country’s healthcare system.
