When I was a youngster, I remember my mother frantically scrounging together coins to pay for a visit by a small-town #Ontario doctor.
We kids were desperately sick, and she was exhausted & frightened enough to call him, despite the cost.
So, it is unsettling to hear rumblings that these govt's are also banking on widespread illness, death & healthcare chaos to make us think Canada's public healthcare has failed and that we would receive better care if we paid.
"Wait-weary Canadians ready to embrace private care..."
No. National Post, we’re not.
We want the provinces to fund healthcare properly. Most Canadians do not want a US system where people must pay for surgery out of their own pockets.
