In Canada the conservatives have been doing everything they can to gut the health care. One of their primary arguements is that it is so much quicker and easier to see a doctor in the US.
What has changed in the last few years(since they formulated their talking points) to add this delay?
- nothercastle 2y agoA number of compounding factors. Work conditions for providers aren’t great. Cost cutting has driven more work to providers without increasing pay. Hospitals are constantly cutting provider costs and increasing overhead burden. So doctors that used to get 10 min per patient to write notes now get 5 and a couple additional patients. Nursing staff available is low and so doctors have to do more. All this adds up to more suck and doctors quitting earlier. Higher health care needs due to aging population, that’s kind of a given. Also general lack of providers coming down the pipeline. Needs are up but the number of doctors are roughly flat. It’s also not the ticket to a good life it used to be. You would make way more money as a tech bro than as a doctor and have better qol.
