Canada falls short in several areas of health care...OECD countries, report says

[foragefarmer]

First thing I’d do is get rid of half these high priced administrators creating jobs for themselves in health and education
It’s a joke , half of them aren’t even experienced in their respective fields
salaries are online ,god damn pencil pusher making more than a doctor , absolute stupidity

Isn't a family member of yours a nurse? If so they definitely would know of the administrative waste taking place.

How would you know , have you ever lived in a remote camp in the high arctic for 8 weeks ?, you don’t have a clue
starting wage in the patch is less than Tim Hortons or Safeway

The reason why we are spending less than the OECD on primary care is that the provinces are underfunding primary care to balance the books. They don't want to put enough money into training enough healthcare workers and doctors and paying them in a fair way. Family doctors are not getting enough fees for each visit that would attract them to family medicine.

They also don't put a priority on family medicine by making sure there are enough family doctors. So may of the ERs are full of people who could have been seen by a family doctor but they don't have one.

In resource rich provinces we can easily pay for much better primary healthcare that would reduce wait times. But no, the cheapskates who are responsible wont raise the revenue and as a consequence you can thank Curly Moe and Danny Smith for all the rural hospital closures.

And many of you keep voting for this?
