Canadian Health Care Needs Revamp

[chuckChuck]

There are not enough spaces to train nurses and doctors because most provinces and especially the Conservative ones want to cut funding for post secondary education.

We have known about the demographic bubble of the baby boomers for a long time. Many already retired and now requiring lots of healthcare services and fewer workers.

If you want more homegrown doctors and nurses create more training spaces and incentives to get students through the programs and back working in rural areas.

The provinces and the feds have to make this a priority.

But I know many of you fiscal conservatives care more about low taxes than good health care. That is until you need it yourself and its not there.

You mean like all the nurses that went south to work after graduation?

[chuckChuck]

Please provide evidence that support your claims.

When speaking with people have worked in both systems, our system doesn't stack up nearly as well as claimed.

While it has the appearance of serving us better, there are many who fall through the cracks here as well.

And our system has far more waste and over-management than the US system will allow since theirs is market driven.

Neither system is perfect.

Bullshite again! As a percentage of GDP the US systems costs way more 16.8 % vs Canada's 10.8%. And there system doesn't provide universal coverage. Canada's system costs are more in line with European nations and Japan.

Can we improve it. Certainly.

The nurses and teachers have had for years a set quota for hiring by the unions….quit trying to bull crap the crowd chuck chuck.

[chuckChuck]

That's a laugh show us the proof of the quotas!

If the SHA and School Boards want to hire more staff do you really think the unions tell them no! LOL

They are constrained by budgets.

When we were in Vegas a couple of years ago the wife felt ill . Three hours at the hospital with an X-ray and a little bloodwork cost 17000.Thank god for blue cross.They wouldn’t look at her without first handing over a credit card . It’s no wonder their doctors and nurses are better paid than in Canada.

It’s the universities
I know a person doesn’t know if she can get into nursing with a 90 average?

They only have so many spots available so they can ration the access by requiring very high marks.

If there was more spots they can accept more students. They need more instructors and all the resources required. Without an increase in budgets they can't offer more students an opportunity.

Post secondary institutions are struggling with budget cuts in many cases.

So , wouldn’t that have been a great place for some of the turdo bucks that flew out the window

[chuckChuck]

Isn't post secondary education a provincial responsibility?

[Guest]

isn't it a federal govt responsibility to not pay terrorists $10 M?

[chuckChuck]

Too much caffeine CaseIH? You gotta a bit off topic there. LOL

[shtferbrains]

The federal government made billions of dollars available to the provinces for healthcare for Covid but didn't want any trailing expenses.
Meaning they wanted all the money to buy things but no bricks and mortar type projects.

Billions spent it just basicly evaporated and we are left with nothing but higher than ever Covid numbers and buinesses starting to close permanently

[chuckChuck]

Underfunding healthcare educational opportunities and forecasts of health care worker shortages predates covid.

Covid just made it much worse.

Covid just made it much worse.

No, covid just pulled the curtain away from what was always there, just hidden from the public eye and defended by a lot of apologists who cant admit they might be wrong. So the failing system endures, until it doesnt.
