The reason why we are spending less than the OECD on primary care is that the provinces are underfunding primary care to balance the books. They don't want to put enough money into training enough healthcare workers and doctors and paying them in a fair way. Family doctors are not getting enough fees for each visit that would attract them to family medicine.
They also don't put a priority on family medicine by making sure there are enough family doctors. So may of the ERs are full of people who could have been seen by a family doctor but they don't have one.
In resource rich provinces we can easily pay for much better primary healthcare that would reduce wait times. But no, the cheapskates who are responsible wont raise the revenue and as a consequence you can thank Curly Moe and Danny Smith for all the rural hospital closures.
And many of you keep voting for this?
