respectively, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information. Home and primary care services were also affected.
"Substantial unmet health-care needs were reported by Canadian adults during the first year of the pandemic," the authors wrote in thethat outlined the results of the survey. "The results of this study have important implications for health equity." "The literature has established that immigrants face unique difficulties accessing health care," the authors wrote, adding that Canadians who are not white are less likely to have a regular physician.
Respondents from Ontario were most likely to report challenges accessing health care and barriers to COVID-19 testing, while Quebec residents were most likely to not visit a hospital or doctor, and least likely to struggle with the other two outcomes. People with higher education levels were more likely to report facing challenges accessing health care, though the authors said this could be because they had better access to health care pre-pandemic than those with lower education levels, so their perception of disruption during the pandemic could have been greater.
The authors acknowledged admitted there were some limitations to their data. They issued their surveys to people already participating in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, a national long-term study of adults between 45 and 85 at the time of recruitment. However, it excludes residents of the three territories and First Nations reserves, Canadian Armed Forces members and people living in institutions.
You mean 45% of Canadians over 25 years old struggled to access health care in 2020: survey ..
My sister with a busted skull waited 6 hours to talk to a quack with a stethoscope last week
Buckle up it's gonna be a bumpy ride boomers .
I'm surprised at how few Canadians understand that healthcare is collapsing before their eyes. It will never get better until a hybrid public/private system is implemented.
What does the government expect when they fired a majority of their staff for not participating in a mandatory'vaccine'🙄
Because rationed monopoly healthcare sucks shit. Just like everything else the government claims to be 'helping' with.
That’s seem like a ridiculously low number. Seems like it’s higher then 25%. Welcome to socialized health care that doesn doesn’t work.
We drive 2 1/2 hrs (each way) for a family Dr appointment. Start with that problem
The good news is they can now all apply for MAiD and be approved in 30 minutes or less.
Helth care 🤮
the Globe & Mail reported that CSIS documents confirm 'Chinese diplomats and their proxies backed the re-election of Justin Trudeau’s Liberals.'
Good thing I pay more then ever for this shit healthcare
They were too busy on tiktok
Cost me about 10 bucks for every hour I work for those services in federal tax. Wouldn't mind using them someday... 🤷🏼♂️
And so many walked away from their posts because government and media and the 'health care professionals' partnered up in one of the biggest propaganda fear schemes of our time!
Because it was lockdown.
and 2021, and 2022, and 2023
8 yrs of Trudsau and the Liberal Party. Bye bye healthcare.
Thanks to Conservatives wanting to bring in expensive for profit health care for their brown nosers!
Too bad so sad….. seems to be the message. Foreign Aid (aka ROI 😜), Funding War, Ridiculous Government Waste, Etc is priority. Everyone sees it right
You mean our deathcare system. Let's face it, it's been infiltrated for many decades with toxic people and medications. The same healthcare system is injecting people with toxic shots now are going to save you?
Stephen Harper is going to have to answer for this
But the shots are free and readily available.
But according to Trudeau, Canada isn't broken
- Vaccine - Acquired - immune - Deficiency - Syndrome - - What everyone 'Wanted' was instant health in a convenient vial, without the discipline of critical thinking or rational analysis - So you could travel to a beach ... 'AIDS ' is What You Got !!!
And here we are in 2023 and I’ve been waiting a year for a referral call.
…because the govt and media overreacted to Covid
You just tweeted that 20 minutes ago!
in 2020 what could you access other than amazon?
What did Trudeau spend 600 billion on during the pandemic if many Canadians cannot get a family Doctor?
