Dr. Eileen de Villa says public health initiatives appear to be invisible when they work because they prevent disease, so it is easy to take them for granted.
She says public health units also play a key role in relieving the pressure on the province's primary care system by ensuring people don't become ill in the first place. De Villa says changes to the cost-sharing between the city and province have left her at a loss for words. The province notified health units late last week that it will reduce cost-sharing from levels of 100 per cent or 75 per cent, to 60 to 70 per cent for some municipalities.The city estimates that will mean a cut of more than $1 billion over a decade - a figure the province has disputed.
I said the same thing when my dad cut my allowance; that it hurt me personally. He told me to get a paper route and quit whining or I'd learn what real 'hurt' was about. Advice taken. I got a job and my dad's respect. These whiners need to learn same. They've long been overpaid.
