Canadian Health Care Myths
Uncategorized Comments (0)
Health care in Canada is always been and always will be a hot button topic. From each side of the debate is 'facts' and assumptions on how best to deliver health care services to Canadians.
As of late there has been much talk of private for profit providers moving into the market to help with the burden that the public system is said to be under. Much of this talk comes from supporters of the Conservative Party and from the rightwing lead Provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. on the other side of the issue is the NDP and some members of the Liberal party coming out in support of a public only dominated system.
When Paul Martin decides to call an election this year, health care is sure to be a concern at the top of most Canadians lists.
