Q3: health care. what measures:
rebut: finding doctors:

NDP:
prevent private health care. libs have done private health care. more immigrants for docs/nurses. long term care/home care program for seniors. reduce price of drugs.
rebut: 5 mil CDN don't have a family doctor. (Was said by announcer.) libs will give tax cuts, we'll invest in people we need.

CON: no quick fix. we'll ensure that wait times are low, and have penalties for them (court rulings) and if wait times to long, they can go somewhere else (Region/country)
rebut: we'll graduate more doctors.

BLOQ: provincal transfer cutbacks large cause. 10k fed employees in Ottowa in health care, not helping a single person. cut back them, more money for provences.
rebut: not feds responsibility

LIB: Patients first, no private. fund homecare, more docs/nurses (err they said they would..... ummm) has established benchmarks. says that they have decreased wait times. didn't actually say much this time
rebut: yeah we need more spaces. and we need residencies. we'll bring in immigrants for them as well. (more foreign doctors) we need them everywhere.

Winner: umm no one really... not libs, bloq/cons I suppose
