If you want to cut costs to health care you need to instruct the board of AHS to find places to cut and present those options to the government for review and decision making.
No political party is knowledgeable enough to provide in depth analysis of departments that they do not control. Asking them to do otherwise is ignoring how the system works.

See that's where it seems so silly. You're a smart guy, and you know that if you were interviewing someone for a job and they claimed that they could do something you would ask how? If the best they could come up with is "I'd have to see when I get in there" it wouldn't be enough for me to hire them. I think that most people would feel that way.
If after that all we get is the tired line of "trim the fat, cut the red tape, find efficiencies, create synergies" and other tripe, I'm not listening any further. We should do those things, and I guess I'm in favour. Do I actually believe that that kind of thing is the exact right amount to balance the budget and cure all the funding woes of health, education and infrastructure though? Well I was born at night, but it wasn't last night.
