Which "anti-conservative ranting" are you referring to exactly? The part where a bunch of posters have reference Klein blowing up the general hospital...cause that wasn't me. I made one comment, and took it back almost as fast as I made it.

My point is that healthcare isn't a priority. You take that to mean money thrown at the issue, where I say that the issue is actually two things:

A) People have been told we already spend a huge portion of the budget and can't afford the care that everyone wants/needs. I think that this is a cop-out and it basically says that we need to lower our expectations because we can't find anything else to do. I am an optimist who thinks that other solutions could provide affordable, excellent health care for all.

B) There has been no real creative solution put forward on how to improve things. Since the early 1990s the province has come up with no long-term plan to rectify things. Admittedly I don't know what the final product looks like...but this is where the government who funds and administers the program needs to step up to the plate with that solution. This has less to do with politics and more to do with having a way to generate solutions to an issue that has been dogging us for over a decade now.

If you take that as anti-conservative that is your issue. All I'm saying is that they are the ones in power and have controlled the entire process, so the outcome rests on their shoulders for better or for worse.
