About time.
About time for what
WHO PAYING
You’re paying in all cases. Public or private.
Fix the system! Don’t destroy it!
Canada’s broken system is an anomaly in the developed world. Dual public/private is most common.
Quebec has both public and private systems. They are doing much worse than Ontario. The average wait time for a family doctor in Quebec is 5-10 years.
@Mazes S A It’s faster to go through med school and be your own doctor.
Well there you go. It was obvious that privatization was their goal, but they are saying it out loud now.
The conservative dream… private health care!
Dual public/private is very much the norm in developed countries of all political stripes. Canada is an anomaly.
@Jim Trainor You Are the anomaly bud.
@NEMISES Truth tough for you?
@NEMISES Yea does it?
Ahh yes create the problem, and make the solution that you have to pay for.
You’re already paying for healthcare.
Yea dont quite get the logic my dude..
Long over do
Glad you love corporate greed.
@NEMISES … And access to CT, MRI, and PET scans when you need them on short notice. All available via private clinics in Canada already. And docs in the public systems refer their patient to these clinics including in cases where public insurance won’t cover the cost. Just one example of reality today.
Privatize = Healthcare for Profits
Not the only thing it =
looks like the nurses help cause this
How so?
@Jim Trainor taking time off, taking vacations, just not showing up at work… at least they’ll get what they wanted , privatization
@MrUranium235 That certainly doesn’t describe the situation I hear about from my nurse spouse. BTW nurses have had vacation time restricted during 2020 and 2021. It was very limited.
@MrUranium235 I agree and part of it was by throwing their co workers under the bus. Instead of standing up for the rights of all workers they caved in.
Privatization is the way to go. Let public and private health compete with each other.

Two tier system,one for the rich and one for the peasants.

Fire the conservative trumper government.

Why do all of these ministers have such lifeless eyes?
Doctors and nurses are more necessary and valuable than politicians.
