Shared Heath is a money-sucking behemoth that needs to be investigated.
I agree that pretty much all aspects of healthcare need to be investigated. I'll add that in cases like the article here, the funds shouldn't be a challenge to obtain.
Infrastructure upkeep shouldn't be a matter of debate. The only question that should be asked when considering a request like that is whether the facility requires it. That answer, in this case, is glaringly obvious. They need it. Period.
IMO, considering how much Canada spends on healthcare, and how little we get for that amount of spending, plus the fact that nurses have to continually fight for reasonable wages, and doctors can very easily make more money by going to another country, it's clear to me that the money is not going to front line staff. It's getting lost somewhere in the middle.
that is a very serious problem.
Yup. Never mind that not one province signed onto the agreement the feds wanted when they handed out the extra billions in healthcare transfers ... so the provinces can spend that money in any way they want to -- not just on healthcare. :/
