The Canadian health-care system has been deteriorating over many years to the point of crisis. Holistic, proactive health policy actions are urgently required.
None of the issues affecting our health care are new. What’s new is its continuing deterioration to the point of crisis and the broadening awareness of Canadians that our vaunted publicly-funded health ‘system’ is not what it used to be.
The House Health Committee’s report is welcome, but deficient in its lack of specific recommendations on actions to alleviate the current crisis and prevent others from developing.
