Canada's health-care system needs help, but helping the rich get richer isn't the answer.
In recent months, childhood hospitalizations and deaths due to the trifecta of RSV, influenza and COVID-19 have reached all-time highs. In early January, the B.C. government renewed use of its emergency operations centres, at least in part due to the demands placed on the health-care system by younger patients.
South of the border there are decades of failures of private health care. The landscape is littered with stories of personal bankruptcies, minor illnesses turned into chronic ones, as well as both premature and preventable deaths. Every experiment, innovation and combination of private health has been tried over the past century in the U.S., and has failed. There is not a single success story to point to.
