>The Canadian system absolutely requires a referral from your GP to see a specialist

I presume that's only when you want your expenses covered. If you pay with your own money/private insurance you can see whoever you want, no?

There are some rules hobbling the private system in Canada that don’t exist in every country with universal healthcare. As I understand it, if a doctor participates in the public system they’re limited in their ability to accept private-pay patients. Happy to take correction here from Canadians who know better.
