As a nation, according to Fraser Institute figures, Canada lags nearly every other universal health-care system in the world in the number of hospital beds per capita. The fact that we have fewer physicians than other, similar systems compounds the problem. Worse, our government’s insistence on monopoly health care robs our nation of an option that could represent an effective pressure-release valve — the private sector. “Canada is one of the only universal health-care systems in the world that effectively prevents patients from using their own money to receive treatment,” wrote Bacchus Barua of the Fraser Institute recently, “locking them into a public system where they compete for space with each other.”
During the SARS crisis, we handled the increase in demand for hospital beds by erecting tents in parking lots. Since then, we should have built surge capacity into the system — but we didn’t.
Because crises - like budgets -fix themselves.
That must be good news considering how this crisis the useless government said was not a problem is now ballooning:
Ontario reported three new cases of the novel coronavirus Monday, bringing the total in the province to 18.
Can't they just be euthanised as this country already does with its elderly or does that skew the voters blocks?
While Moon is looking for a convenient scapegoat for his failure to handle everything from the economy to the current coronavirus, North Korea has taken advantage:
North Korea fired two unidentified projectiles into its eastern sea on Monday as it begins to resume weapons demonstrations after a months-long hiatus that could have been forced by the coronavirus crisis in Asia.
The launches from an area near Wonsan came two days after North Korea’s state media said leader Kim Jong Un supervised an artillery drill aimed at testing the combat readiness of units in front-line and eastern areas.
