StarEditorial: We may not yet be on the threshold of transformational change, but we need to turn the page on the never-ending funding battles. Some vision is now needed. Over to you, premiers.
Old habits die hard. With Canadians demanding our leaders act on health care, show some leadership and work collectively to transform a crumbling system, we appeared lost down the funding rabbit hole once again. It was all about the money, just as it always has been.
The premiers’ disappointment was real, but no one is going to walk away from an increase in health funding without risking the righteous anger of voters at the ballot box. They may have had their fiscal dreams, but they are grounded in political reality.There would never be enough money for the premiers. There never has been. No premier has ever accepted a health transfer from Ottawa and said, “that’s enough, thanks, that will do just fine.
There is an immediate, unconditional $2-billion available to deal with the crisis at our emergency rooms and pediatric hospitals. There is $1.7 billion for pay increases for personal support workers.
