Scott objects:

No, he just tells you you can't have heart surgery in Vancouver till a
bunch
of other people get surgery first. Nor can YOU simply board a bus and
go to
Toronto and walk in to a hospital and be admitted, because Toronto has
its
own government-mandated priority list, and you're not on it.
===============

OK, Scott, you need to decide, is it a "national" waiting list, or a
"city" list (obviously, in your mind, the provinces play no role in
this: or do they? What say you?)?

And, in Toronto, this "government-mandated" priority list: which
government are we talking about?

From your analysis, could I, however, walk from one hospital in Toronto
to another to improve my position?

Further, within one hospital, once I'm there, can I walk from one
surgeon's office to another to try to improve my position or exercise
some choice over who actually does my surgery?

We need answers Scott. These are very real, practical, dilemmas.
