I'm doubtful that Cardus[0] would advocate for better care:
FTA:
Here’s just a quick snapshot of some of the think tank’s latest research:
• One report, titled “Marriage is good for your health,” claims the traditional institution of marriage has numerous “health advantages,” including “quicker recovery from illness” and “better odds of surviving a heart attack” while an additional report claims common law relationships can lead to “negative health outcomes” – neither report is authored by a medical doctor.
• Another report accuses the International Monetary Fund of “coercing Canadian mothers into the workforce” by calling for childcare investments, while other reports argue social assistance for single mothers gives them an incentive to never get married.
• Elsewhere, the social conservative think tank, which says it is called upon to uphold the free market, calls on unions to stop focusing on collective bargaining and organize social activities for their members instead.

- Dalewyn 3y agoI can agree with them specifically with regards to the odds of surviving heart attacks. If you're alone in your home and you drop to the floor suffering a heart attack, you're almost guaranteed to die. If someone (eg: your spouse) is nearby, you have a slim chance of waking up in a hospital room. As for the other stuff though: Screw that noise.
