No mention of the NDP. If only that was the "something different" people were willing to try.

Having lived in several different countries with both public and private healthcare, I can say with confidence that privatization is the death of a healthcare system.

Health for profit makes everyone's care worse except for the really rich, who still end up paying more under that system than they otherwise would have.

Even something like government reimbursemrnt for privatized healthcare means public health care suffers, as public institutions now have to compete with higher salaries paid by private hospitals, slowly eroding the system from the inside out.

There's no such thing as cheap healthcare, but public systems are a hell of a lot better at keeping it affordable and accessible.

There seems to be a lot of different 'definitions' for private healthcare and public healthcare.

The 'definition' seems to flip flop front nation to nation.🤔
