I think our attitude about healthcare is so deeply shaped by the fruitful decades of the 80s, 90s and 2000s.
From a historical perspective access to healthcare and health outcomes are still near the best they've ever been. Yet, things were so good in the 2000s we took them for normal, when in actuality, they were an anomaly.
Same goes for economics and housing. Things were never going to stay as good as they were then. Not to say we should abandon all hope and not look for improvements. But in the history of the province, let alone the history of western medicine things are pretty damn good.
