This is one Canadian in full agreement, in BC! It's a mess! I'm convinced we DO have the funding... it's just not being administered adequately. We're adding layers of admin crap between actually getting the job done. And the lack of funds for preventative care and tests, that would take strain off funding once seriously ill... wow. Yes, I agree: they are making decisions that will push us in the direction of privatization. I argued with my brother over this, age 64, and was shocked at the thoughts in his head about the US system. He must not spend any time with Americans... I could go on, but you're right. I hope this is widely read!!
