Federal transfers should be conditional on commitments from the provinces to achieve ‘measurable progress’ on health care reforms, says the former cabinet minister

problems by spending more and more money, and that now is the time to make the hard choices they have avoided in the past.

In Mr. Morneau’s view, he and other political leaders have avoided the hard work of health care reform, and instead kicked the problem down the road by increasing federal transfer payments and other sources of cash for a system that now consumes 13 per cent of Canada’s gross domestic product, second only to the U.S. among Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development nations.

In the book, which is scheduled for release on Jan. 17, he recounts how in 2017 he and former health minister Jane Philpott championed one of the government’s signature achievements: reforms that increased support for home care and mental health. In Ontario, the programs translated into an additional $4.2-billion of federal funding.

Healthcare was cut for decades. It's a shell of the original.Feds used to pay 50/50, now they pay 23%. It's a Soviet era Central command supply control propaganda defended formula.They simply cut nurses doctors beds surgeries procedures hospitals etc to cut our access and cost

Right Bill. Privately run publicly funded never worked. It leads to collapse and full privatization. We r not stupid.

You know... I'm thinking that we don't actually need to read a book to know that waiting 10 years to be assigned a family doctor is indicative of some sort of total systems collapse of healthcare in our nation.

Funny how we have billions to send to Ukraine though.

What spending? Is this guy on cocaine?

Morneau is a next level shill, he's managing to shill for his book and his bay street robber baron friends simultaneously

Because we used the healthcare system for geopolitical jobs. When XBB.1.5 explodes not in China, our health authority restrict traveler from China. How is that help to stop the spread of the virus? Of cause that's not sustainable. We have the door wide open for the virus.

Money laundering through the proxy wars is way more sustainable for financial elites.

Well we just spent $19 billion on anti-health fighter jets so that we can kill Russians maybe we should have spent that to save Canadians instead but I guess Dr Justin the genocidal maniac will just ramp up his medical assistance and death program to make up for the shortcomings

Meanwhile, cpc_hq Premiers wanting more because the Covid billions they received went to developers, pet projects or their General Revenue!

Lol, but there is a never ending supply of cash to buy votes

Wow, you mean increasing yearly spending on the biggest provincial line item 3-4x more than GDP growth would cause a problem. 🤔
