One thing is becoming pretty clear. That our healthcare system is sliding into a abyss. There have been several articles in papers over the last week of personal stories of people having to wait months for surgery while not fixing life threating positions are seeing major impacts to their life due to chronic pain or other symptoms. There was actually a story of a kid being told by his doctor to eat food to cause a gall bladder attack so that he could jump the line and get it removed because his pain was so severe and he was losing weight rapidly and dangerously.

Look I don't blame the doctors and nurses on a professional level, they work incredibly hard within the system. But I know that we've seen my mother slowly lose her mobility due to a car accident a few years ago and walking and sitting for long periods of time have basically locked her in the house. When she went to see a doctor she was told that it would be about 8 months before they could get her to a specialist to take a look at it. As we speak my parents are looking at going to a private clinic in B.C. where they can pay to get a MRI or whatever they need done.

Look, free health care is great unless it sucks, and right now Canadian Health Care sucks, so free doesn't really do anything but give us something to promote internationally. Look at us we're a liberal democracy with free health care . . . woooow.

I don't even blame the budget dollars, the last time I looked Canada was top three in
per capita spending for health care. I blame how that money is being used and budgeted. Health care has become too salary driven and far too top heavy. Its also being run by complete dolts and incompetants.

In the movie "Dave" Charles Grodin reviewed the white house budget and exclaims that he doesn't understand how they stay in business. If the same thing happened with Canadian Health Care Charles Grodin would grasp his chest and have a heart attack, and then probably die in a hallway because there weren't enough beds available.
