Conservatives in Canada want to turn public heatlhcare into private. They will make millions.

I took my daughter to the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton after work. Because she’s a teenager and deserves her privacy, I don’t want to share too much about why, but I will say, with her permission, that it was a mental health concern. I was worried about her safety.

...

I had decided to go at that time because it was a weekday evening. Not too early, and not too late. I figured it would be better than going on the weekend, and still I expected to wait five hours, maybe even seven.

Why would you go to the emergency room for this? This is not an emergent situation. If it were, you wouldn't have waited for days to take your child there.

This is why she was always at the bottom of the triage list. That is how triage lists work; the patient with the least urgent need goes to the bottom of the list, regardless of how long they have been waiting.

Good lord. 17 hours is brutal.

Conservative policies cost lives

Health savings or health cuts?
