How do you get that out of that? We have an aging population, not to the same degree as other populations based on percentages, but look a little deeper. We have a growing population from people moving to Alberta for work, which makes the increase in the percentage of people over 65 appear smaller. At the same time you are using absolute numbers To look at health care spending.
There are new treatments that cost money, medication, salaries, facilities, operating costs... This all costs money. At the end of the day, our system isn't perfect, but it is pretty darn good all things considered.
Please tell me what the best way to fix the health care system is within the Canada Health Act? Or are you just blowing hot air trying to pin everything on the PCs?
