    Really? After so many years of loss of funding, cost-cutting, layoffs, political meddling and privatisation? I’m shocked. Flabbergasted I say.

    If only the government actually wanted to care for the people it supposedly represents. :(

    It’s almost as if most MPs see their positions merely as vehicles for personal gain.

          And the best part? The private hospitals are sucking up more tax payer dollars than the public hospitals AND they’re delivering poorer service (and wait times aren’t very good either). So basically they’re wrecking one system and offering a worse one as a solution.

            The person in charge of determining what cases private took and which went back to public, was a private hospital investor…so obviously he’s taking the cases that they can make the most profit off of and dumping the difficult stuff back to public system.

        That’s literally the plan they have.

        • Cut funding for healthcare until it fails

        • Privatise it because “Public healthcare doesn’t work in Canada.”

        Just like mobile networks are “more difficult to create” and why there isn’t yet bullet trains connecting the country; because Canada is special.

          Nooooo I hate it. I’m American and I don’t want Canada to slide backwards at all, the jokes about calling an Uber instead of an ambulance are real 😵
