The vast majority of Canadians (86 per cent) don’t feel in control of their health care, say the findings of the latest vibe check on health-care sentiments in the country. And the sky is blue.

The other results of this survey, conducted in August by the telehealth company Maple, are consistent with the theme of disappointment: 50 per cent of Canadians report delaying obtaining care; 47 per cent have trouble accessing proactive care; about three-quarters want more access to family doctors. Long wait times and limited access are among the biggest reported barriers to seeking care.
