Are you suggesting we switch to privatised healthcare?

How about we switch to ACTUAL public healthcare, not one where hospitals and doctors offices have to turn a profit delivering services at a price set by the government?

Honestly I don’t have an opinion on that. In the immortal words of Donald Trump, “nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated”

I’m not gonna pretend I have the answers. I’m not a policy expert. But from what I’ve seen, I think our system works pretty well when it’s well-funded. Maybe a different public system would work even better, IDK.

Now now now, let’s not get crazy and expect a reasonable idea to be the right one.

Obviously the only way forward is privatized healthcare, and maximized profits, until the lower class revolts and we do it all over again.

Everyone who gets it needs to start explaining to everyone who doesn’t why public services should never be expected to make profit, should be expected and accepted that public services generally operate at a loss, and that none of that is a bad thing. Canada is in desperate need of a narrative change and a legislative overhaul if we are going to survive what is coming as a intact country.

System failure is a fun thing. We need to trim the bloat to try and avoid it.

No. no. Privatization is great. Im american and its so much more exciting. Every time I get the big square envelope I never know if its approval or denial. Its like one of those exciting tv shows you might watch where you definitely would not want to be a character in it.

Exactly this! Very few people ever complain that the military is losing money. Healthcare should be the same way. It should operate at a loss.

Naaah, just privatized suicide services. Oh wait, we have those, we call them long term care.

No, that we get rid of maid specifically. Maybe review everything, but the tax paid healthcare seems to work as a whole. It just has a few issues that need to be addressed, just like any other system

We can’t just get rid of it, as the SCC has ruled that MAID is a constitutional right.
