That's probably an advantage, and it has been discussed among clinicians. If you're a veteran here, you are a citizen of Canada, and you have access to health care. I would assume there are many veterans--although we don't know--who are seeking and accessing treatment but are not identified or having their treatment paid for directly by Veterans Affairs. In the U.S., my understanding is that to be in their health system with the Department of Veterans Affairs, they would have to have a service-related pension entitlement.
