“#Canadians have seen versions of this public-private “debate” countless times. A typical pattern happens whenever our #HealthSystem is in #crisis, as it is today. Following alarmist claims of spiralling public health care spending, calls for increased private financing and #TwoTier health care soon follow.

the debate around private spending has been settled legally. The #BCSupremeCourt found in an 880 page ruling that more privately paid care would result in more waiting and worse care.”

Great quote from Jennifer Lunden's forthcoming book "An American Breakdown"

"US still has the worst, most expensive health care of any high-income country"

This is what happens when you privatize the most fundamental sector of a society: health!

When treatments prove costly and steep
Governments must find ways to keep
Expenses in check
But it won't be a breeze, they must reckon

@jd1515151 Basically everybody is paying more taxes than #Trump or many/most other #rich people.

And not only rich people: For example, #Amazon is more or less not paying any taxes in Austria although they make many Millions each year in our small country alone.

No wonder why our #healthsystem is about to collapse even without COVID issues on-top. 🤷

Our #HealthSystem is at risk. #COVID19 has weakened already tenuous system. If top stones r removed from a pyramid, nothing happens. But if you weaken the bottom stones (the 8M #caregivers in Canada) the whole structure will eventually crumble. We must better support caregivers
