Leave a Comment

“There is talk about P3 coming into the healthcare.  P3’s have been proven to dost taxpayers money.  I realize health care is the largest expense for government, but Canadian health care is set up so it does not run making a profit.  P3’s need to make a profit for the investors.  The taxpayers end up […]

Create catastrophic medical plan – include supplies not just drugs

Leave a Comment

Perhaps a select set of medical supplies should be covered under a “catastrophic” plan along with medications.  Then at least the amount a household spends on “medical” costs would be capped at a percentage of the annual household income.  After all the whole idea behind the catastrophic plan is to make sure people don’t go broke […]
