Very good points from @JayJGoldberg... for decades, spending on health care has gone up, but waitlists have gotten worse.
We need real reform.

We have some data coming that could help with this problem.
Canadian ERs to remain in crisis if action isn't taken on staffing shortages, patient surges: report ctvnews.ca/health/canadian-e…

Part of the fix to the nursing shortage could be inside our own borders.
Did you know that nearly 2,000 Ontario nurses work in Michigan? We should learn from them to see what would attract them to work in Canada.

In Alberta, there were 127 waiting list deaths – 48 surgical, 79 were waiting for diagnostic scans.
Unlike previous years, no details were provided to indicate what type of surgeries or diagnostic scans the patients were waiting for.

A very interesting conversation between @shawn_whatley and @AndrewLawton.
In the past few decades, health spending has increased at nearly double the rate of inflation, but waitlists have only gotten worse.

My story on Canadians paying for surgery at private clinics in other provinces so they can skip wait lists in their home province is provoking reaction.
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh wants the PM to “close the loophole” in the Canada Health Act that allows it. cbc.ca/news/health/private-s…

An interesting listen from @DrBrianDay and @brianlilley on many of the problems with health care in our country.

This is how hip replacement is done.
Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant.
The implant used in the video is the Acetabular QUATTRO™ PnP cup from Groupe Lépine.

An absolutely tragic story out of Saskatchewan. This woman has suffered so much on a waitlist, that she's considering death.
We need health reform now.

🔥 Why do Canadians seek care abroad? 🤷♂️🤷♂️
👉One of the main reasons Canadians seek medical care outside their country is because of the wait time they face.

Waiting list deaths are up again in Ontario.
How many of these patients died while waiting for surgeries which could have potentially saved their lives?

Mental note: Consider adding the use of CDs in the health care system to our potential research project.
Any stories out there about floppy disks? Any governments still using those?

The public health care system in Saskatchewan is at capacity. Should the government:
A) Hire private clinics to help provide surgery to patients faster
B) Make patients wait longer so they eventually receive surgery at a government hospital

Ontarians faced long waiting lists for surgeries and diagnostic scans BEFORE the COVID-19 pandemic...with devastating effects.
Is it time we reformed Canada's health care sector?

Countries like the UK, Australia, Ireland, Norway and Germany allow patients to seek private medical services if they are on a waiting list.
Is it time Canada offered patients the same choice? 🍁🏥
