The concept of universal health care is a good one.
The way that Canada executes that concept is flawed, there's throwing money at a problem to make it go away, and then there's throwing money at a problem to make it go away, but not having the sense to be the least bit strategic about the spending.
Canada's health care system dosen't work because we overspend on the administration of it, and to keep the unions happy, and we don't spend enough on actual beds and equipment, and research. The fact that there are not enough MRI's in the system for example is a huge concern. The fact that we're losing doctors and can't get doctors who want to service rural areas is a huge problem.
Right now Health care is a sinkhole for dollars, I was hoping that the Conservative government would look at ways of improving it, but the guaranteed wait time strategy is a lip service and nothing more.
