Millions of patients are suffering and over 11,000 a year are dying as they wait for medical care

The government of B.C. recently ordered its independent Medical Services Commission to audit TELUS Health to determine if it was engaged in providing “two-tiered” health care through its care centres.

, headed by Justice Peter Seaton. The commission had been tasked with probing the rising cost of health care in the province, which it concluded was partly due to an overabundance of doctors.Other recommendations of the commission included, “State clearly that immigrant physicians do not have a right to practice medicine in B.C.,” and “Require visa trainees to agree not to stay in Canada when they complete their training.

Canadian hospitals’ fixed annual budgets mean patients are perceived by them as undesirable cost items who consume their annual funding allocation. In better performing OECD countries, the money follows the patient and hospitals receive funds on a per-patient procedure or visit basis. Hospitals then desire and compete for patients. The opposite happens here.

Canada's health care system, for all its RW media reports of 'failings', saved many lives that would have been lost in 'exceptional' countries like the US. On a 'per capita' basis, for every Canadian who died of Covid-19, 2.5 Americans died.

Amazing that after two years and 100 of billions spent that 🇨🇦 s icu capacity didn’t go up 1 bed. I’m starting to think healthcare is a tool like aboriginal dirty drinking water. Keep it broken so the poor and ignorant keep voting in the charlatans promising to fix it.

Thanks conservatives

More Jabs mean less humans means Hunger Games is the future. 💉💉💉🪦🪦🪦

The 'elites' are essentially psychopaths who don't care who dies as long as they are comfortable. Destroy their comfort, crush their resistance and make them beg for mercy, or suffer. Mass mobilization, general strikes and direct action. Grow a spine, win a future.
