Look at Canada, where this stuff is happening in spades. I'm living it.
- pikzen 9y agoDo you realize that this is happening in Canada because certain people are pushing for privatized health care, draining more and more resources away from the public health services, causing the service quality to go down? It's a tried and tested technique. Take a well working system which doesn't generate profits, push to reduce costs, entirely destroying the service then point it out and say "See? It doesn't work. Better privatize it!"
- refurb 9y agoWow! That's a serious stretch. There is almost no private healthcare in Canada right now. Doctors are banned from "straddling the fence". They either have to go 100% public or 100% private. The reason for the waitlists in Canada are complex, but cost control is one of the reasons.
