Gormley read survey results....majority do. Bigger majority in Quebec.

Isn't Chuck the guy who rigged the CWB poll to try to make it look like the majority of farmers wanted to keep the cwb? Some things never change.

Of course, I neglected to mention that I was XXXXL size back in high school, and I just graduated from high school in 2022, but it's an accomplishment nonetheless right?

Here is a deeper dive into what Canadians think about healthcare from a very recent Angus Reid poll.

Now its time for the Provinces to make the contracts for private clinics open and transparent so that taxpayers can see the costs vs the public system.

Any reluctance to do this is an indication that they have something to hide.

If this is in fact the case, then we can agree on this.

In any open transparent free market system, additional competition will always result in more efficiencies, lower costs, and better service.

If the terms of these contracts is being concealed, then that sounds like corruption, and needs to be dealt with in the legal system.

So in the US they spend more than twice as much per capita and whole lot of it goes to the insurance companies and for profit system.

But this is the system a lot of you want?

Why do think insist that there are only 2 options? Personally, I am against insurance in general, why add an entire extra layer of bureaucracy and administration, which only serves to further remove any concept of personal responsibility?

Do you think it is a fair comparison to measure the cost of a system which rations services to meet the budget, vs one which provides full services on time to anyone willing to pay?

If my neighbor only has enough hay to feed his cows 3 bales per day, with no salt mineral, vitamins, or vaccines, even though they need 5 to stay healthy, stay in shape, have healthy calves, get back into calf, and all survive the winter, and my other neighbor buys expensive hay, and gives his cows 5 bales per day plus all the necessary supplements and vaccines etc., which will be cheaper per head? Which will have a better survivability rate?

That is exactly what you are comparing.
