      Medicare costs a lot. Politicians would love to free up some of that money to use towards their own pet projects. This does nothing for us as medical care is such a basic need that it trumps all else.

      The conservative provincial governments are starving the system of money or by dismantling it with dumb travel contracts and by not negotiating with unions fairly.

      So not so much as a conspiracy just what is currently happening in the news.

      It is rather worse if it isn’t a conspiracy because it means the governments running around promising more tax cuts while expecting services to just magically survive are complete morons.

      Spouse is an MD. Has seen both major parties (federally and provincially (Ont)) during their practice.

      It is not so much a conspiracy for purposely defunding but rather realization that the b’ig promise’ to the boomers of healthcare is way too costly, mostly due to the fact that our older segment of the population takes a lot of resources to do properly.

      Simply put (and in my opinion), healthcare as promised is too expensive and we really don’t have the money to do it the way we were promised (through some social contract) due to logistics of the aging population.

      The problem is we are satisfied with mediocrity. High performing universal health systems by and large spend more public dollars on health care per capita than we do, and cover more services than we do. We want the results of a well funded public health system but we don’t want to pay the tax rates that Europeans pay to support their systems.

      Then you have dorks from Fraser saying they perform better because 5% of the population may go private instead of public. Completely ignoring that they fund their public systems better than we do as a starter.
