Our environment sustains us: protect it. Neoliberalism/consumerism: mankind's downfall. Common sense: use it. Tweets are my opinion. RTs are not endorsements.

      The highest ranked systems have single payer gov't funded healthcare insurance - countries with high tax rates. Sweden, Norway... The problem is that, contrary to your personal conclusion, certain influences have made many believe that low taxes are desirable. I believe otherwise

      They also have much lower paid doctors and specialists. Which was a major part of my argument, that is that a vast majority of increases in costs is attributable to substantially increased labor costs.

      These higher costs, in turn, are partially attributable to our proximity to the US and the potential earnings a doctor or specialist can draw in that market.

      Comparing Canada to Nordic nations is a very apples to oranges comparison, as the issues are much different. You're also wrong that single payer always is the best. Japan for example, very highly ranked, very privatized.

      I don't think it's always the best, but it works well in societies a lot more similar to us than Japan. THAT's apples and oranges. I concede the point about the US effect on salary expectations. Nordic countries would be more "landlocked". Another argument against capitalism lol

      Any health care comparison between nations is apples and oranges. Figuring out how to address the major issues is not as easy as "raise taxes" or "privatize everything". Especially considering the massive amount of our tax bill already funding health care.

      It is a lot but I believe that we need to have someone who can say what the system should deliver, how much we are willing to pay; we need to be able to control that someone by voting them out if they screw up.

      Another comment. I have lived in majors cities (Toronto, Ottawa), little isolated communities measured in the hundreds and everything in between. My experience with things like wait times (purely anecdotal I admit) is that it is entirely location dependent. I have family...

      ... living in a small but reasonably sized city. Wait times are egregious! In Toronto, not so much. Distribution of resources is a serious issue. Technology may help overcome that but this is still a problem that needs fixing.

      Another favourite lefty meme. Harper Govt not only increased health funding year after year, it increased funding for @CIHI_ICIS, the shared arms-length federal-provincial agency who research, measure and report on many aspects of health information: https://www.cihi.ca/en/access-data-reports/results?f%5B0%5D=field_primary_theme%3A2057 …

      I find the #Liberals’ divisive populist political theatrics very distasteful. I’ve turned both #lpc and #cpc off.
