You may be right that this is a prioritization problem, in that the priority is allowing incompetent/bad bureaucrats and unelected administrators as a central-single point of failure to make decisions - rather than allowing the free market decide, allowing the general population decide - so then the most efficient providers while providing an acceptable quality of care gain momentum, can hire more staff, etc.
But this is not a "just don't pay them properly" issue because in Canada free market competitive forces don't economically suffocate out the bad-incompetent doctors and administrators, and also then don't fuel-reward the good-best doctors and administrators.
How do I know this? 10+ years of hell trying to navigate the Ontario medical system, the prior 10+ years being harmed by that Ontario system - where I have had to spend $600k+ getting medical treatment outside of Canada, with the next surgery coming in in Europe to add another 60k EUR to medical expenses - of which I would have to find a lawyer who specializes in suing OHIP, spend another $200k+ and years of time, to try to get compensated for any of the expenses; stress, time, and money that isn't available to initiate that.
Anyone defending the current system has no leg to stand on: there's absolutely zero oversight and accountability. Example? I recently actually became a "rostered" patient with a general-family physician, rostered meaning that instead of going to a walk-in clinic and waiting many many hours to briefly discuss 1 thing - I can book an appointment instead. Of the 3 phone calls I had with this "family" physician so far, of which I had a file with them for years and recently had see multiple of his assistants (PAs: physician assistants), he hadn't even for a moment reviewed my file, nor on the 2nd and 3rd call did he even review the previous call notes with me - to even know what page he should be on; and no, not a new physician, he's been practicing for 25+ years.
This also is part of a planned destruction-erasure of Canadian culture and weakening of the population strategy.
In part via weaponized immigration + weaponized international student visas + irrational-illogical highly harmful "carbon tax" on all Canadian products and services - rather than say specifically on products coming from China - which arguably the majority are but Trudeau is toeing the CCP line, our intelligence agency CSIS having multiple whistle blowers [one who even came publicly forward to add credibility] stated that Trudeau and 11+ MPs had help of CCP to get elected for at least the last 2 elections; and more tactics they deployed.

Ignorance is bliss, and if the depths of your understanding is only what's discussed as acceptable to pop culture - which is heavily crafted by what narratives state-funded media like CBC floods the landscape with - then you'll miss the foundational points, because they don't want you to know the fundamentals, don't want you critically thinking through - they want you regurgitating-parroting.
- aprdm 3y agoYou might want to take off your foil hat. I am also very curious on you breaking down your claims as they don't make any sense on money spent and what happened. Regardless it seems like you had a bad experience (like others do - all around the world in every medical system) and that sucks. We can definitely do better
- loceng 3y agoYour starting with ad hominem is becoming a regular occurrence on HN; you're clearly not mature or developed enough to be worth engaging with if ad hominem is your starting point due to lacking emotional regulation and strength to any other argument point you did or didn't put forward - due to the amount of effort you're willing to put in. You can't brainstorm any scenario where the money spent makes sense? And indeed, I didn't give much detail at all for the costs, except for the upcoming surgery. And then you jump to actual whataboutism.
