Why? Because it works

It works if you don't mind the wait, or if you have the US as a backstop to get around the worst waits if need be, and to fund the drug development for the conditions you might get, while your government operates as a monopsony buyer to force down the local prices.

"It works" as in "it works in a way that's clearly much better than what we have in the US", is very debatable, and to the extent it works in that or any other way, it would work much less, in Canada, if we followed their example.
