Good grief, Cliff.
Are you suggesting all political parties approach healthcare spending/expected outcomes the exact same way? Is it possible some parties have better plans for addressing the healthcare crisis than others? Is it also possible some people prefer to cast their vote in the direction of parties that offer the best chance of improving the healthcare system over parties that prioritize other spending (e.g. billion dollar pipeline projects that are obviously doomed to fail)? Maybe some of us like parties with a backbone that will not adjust public health mandates to placate redneck rallies?

I’m saying an aging population and shortage of health care workers is a huge problem in Alberta, and in B.C., Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. And it’s a huge problem regardless of which party is in power. It’s a huge problem in Canada, and in the UK, Australia, and France. And it will still be in a huge problem in all those places in a decade.
The internet is your window to the world, Sliver. Use it to gain some perspective. The problem is way bigger and deeper rooted than you want to believe. This is a crisis of the aging, Western world.
