I've let a couple of health issue slide because of the logistics of our health care.
I'd love for the NDP to come in and solve it with more doctors and all that, but I don't understand how that happens. Do we invade Cuba and kidnap their doctors? My heart wants to support the NDP, but my head won't let me.

Same here.
Just things like scheduling a blood test once a year to keep on top of things. I push it off because its turned into a headache to actually get in and not have to wait for hours and hours.
Which in itself is a big problem, because doing a yearly blood test is VERY important for everyone. It would help prevent a lot of other problems.
So, can the private side provide that? Sure it could. And I would gladly pay for a plan that allows me to schedule things like a blood test and have it done in 15 min, with the results emailed to me by my doctor.
I've moved recently too, and am having the same problem finding a good family doctor.
