Those who vote for fake Conservative Premiers and their Party.
Tell me again how it is that Canada has one of the best health care systems in the world?
This when those who track such things rank Canada (and OntArWeOwe) at the bottom or close.
This when many of Canada's own spend uncountable hours in the ER or give up all together, spend days or weeks in the hallways or give up all together, or, if they are lucky enough to be able to afford it seek the services and procedures they need elsewhere.
This while Premiers like OntArWeOwe's own throw billions more at a system that feeds its own bureaucracy but seems to do little to nothing for those who pay the bills including OntArWeOwe's very own "Fair Share Health Levy" which, as predicted turned out to be simply another Lieberal imposed tax (kept by a fake Conservative) that feeds general revenues and then goes who knows where.
Question ....
For how many years (perhaps decades now) have Politicians of all stripes told us they would fix the system?
You can be forgiven for not knowing the answer as it is a long one if you list them.
... AND SO ....
The citizens of Ontario (and other places) are supposed to be grateful that our wonderful oxymoron of a supposed "health care" system only sends those who need care into the hallways for a mere 60 hours.
last time i needed hospital care here in bc was 2009/ i spent 13 hrs wating to get in emergency at KGH right off the bat it was a person at one desk to report to that asked some ??? i then sat there for apx 45 mints then name called and up to anther desk where they asked same ??? sat down same seat again then apx1 1/2 hrs called name again anther desk where they asked same ??? sat down same chair and whated over 2 hrs then name called again for anther desk same ??? sat down whated apx 45 mints then name called again this time i was asked to whate in this other wating room and sat there over a hr to have my name called again for anther desk same ??? then told to sit down agin and whated apx 30 mints called up and got same ??? then sat down again then name called and taken into emergency room where i wated and nurse ask same ??? apx 15 mints later the doc apears and ask same ??? he then looked and said thats needs to be lanced and did it within 5 more mints total time was 13 hrs from time i walked in to being done and out the door , 1 they do nuffing when they say there hiring more medical staff to hosptials just add anther level of penceil jockeys so they can empoly their kids with a usless universaty degree in a hight paying goverment job never hire more nurses or Drs and then they wont even allow the medical staff to make there own dicsions on there own health but force them to be experamental jabs to work in the industry
Canada does not have a health care system. It has a sickness care system. Those lucky enough to have a family doctor get booked in approx seven minute intervals. Our system prevents bankruptcy for the seriously sick or injured. Otherwise, it is sub-par, and getting worse with unsustainable, often unlawful, immigration, followed by their elderly relatives.
Everyone has a negative story about our healthcare system. Let me tell some positives. I live in Alberta. Last summer we were visiting family in Windsor, Ontario. My wife developed severe indigestion. We thought it was the lunch we just ate. I suggested some tums. Didn’t help. That evening we went to the Windsor Regional Hospital to get her checked out. Arriving there at 9:00p.m. by 9:30p.m. had blood work in process, had an ECG, and was admitted to the cardiac unit for an angiogram the next day. We didn’t know that her symptoms were typical for a woman having a heart attack. Turns out it wasn’t a heart attack but an inflammation of the lining of the heart. She spent four days in hospital and then I took her home with the medication needed to treat the pericarditis. Exceptional work by the hospital doctors, nurses and staff.
Back in Calgary. Six weeks ago my wife and I were going to go biking with some friends. Waiting in the parking lot for them I suddenly lost vision in my right eye. It was like a curtain dropped over it. I said to my wife: “I have a problem here. Perhaps you should take me to hospital.” I told her what had happened and so she drove me to hospital. The loss of vision lasted perhaps 5 minutes. Anyway, when we got to the hospital I was triaged in about 5 minutes and within about half an hour saw an emergency rm. physician, had my vision checked, blood work in progress and an MRI. We waited about 2 hours for the emergency rm doc to see me again and give a verdict of a TIA. No brain bleeds or blockages. Prescribed a medicine, set me up with an eye specialist the next day and a stroke doctor 3 days hence. I would say the care I got was timely and excellent.
My wife and I appreciate the excellent and timely care given in those instances. The obverse, I waited a year and a half for hip replacement surgery and am waiting now, perhaps up to a year, for ablation for AFib. That is the nature of the system. Emergencies are dealt with by the seriousness they present, chronic issues, not so much. For the most part, I can live with that.
Meanwhile, in BC. Our Healthcare system has been deteriorating for years and years. Everything is always a 'challenge ' but they have no real ideas on how to fix anything. Someone needs to come from the outside to right this ship. https://www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna/583232/A-tiredness-amongst-many-IH-boss-considers-challenges-ahead
