Fix Health Care for 10 Days or Less

Mustafa Hirji (email) at 01:28 AM

As discussed earlier, Martin's plan for health care will not fix health care for a generation or the 10 years Martin claims. Rather, it will give enough money to run the health care system for less than 10 days (about 9.6 days).

Of course, this calculation doesn't include any improvement in quality of care. So Martin's plan is giving Provinces enough money to run the health care system for 10 days at current levels. Hardly the increase in quality needed for "fixing" the problems of waiting times, etc.

Martin's plan is not even fixing health care for 10 days, much less 10 years or a generation.
