We are extremely disappointed with Prime Minister Stephen Harper's decision to end support for the Health Council of Canada....Everyone in this country should be deeply concerned because the federal government is distancing itself from the health and health care of Canadians.
Or take it from my friends at Canadian Doctors for Medicare.
“The federal government is no longer walking away from health care, it’s sprinting at full speed,” said Dr. Ryan Meili, vice-chair of Canadian Doctors for Medicare. “Cutting funding to the Health Council means cutting information on sustainability, quality and efficiency of our health care system – information that Canadians should be able to expect from their government.”
Killing the Health Council bad for Canada’s health care system, say docs | Media Releases
Because their impulses are noble. And they love our precious healthcare system, and want to make it even better.
I've explained many times why Stephen Harper hates medicare. Because it embodies the softer, more caring values of the Canada he despises so much.
By reducing transfers, just as the boomers start flooding into our hospitals. By forcing the provinces to pay more for services like retraining workers. By making them pay to house more prisoners. By throwing more and more unemployed Canadians off E.I. and on to provincial welfare rolls.
Sooner or later, the provinces, especially the poorer ones, will be forced to cry uncle. And the private health care vultures will move in. Just like they have in Britain, where the Cameron Cons are gutting the National Health System.
And forcing public hospitals to reserve 49 percent of their beds for private patients.
For let me be absolutely clear if we don't stop Harper and his gang of inhuman monsters, if we don't listen to the doctors and the nurses, if we allow the Cons to blind us, and condemn us to walk in the darkness.
As I've said so many times before.
We or our loved ones WILL end up in a horrible place.
In a country we don't recognize...
