Healthcare is one of our biggest expenses in the province of Ontario, soon to account for 50% of the budget and growing. If the trend lines were to continue as they are today, with our aging population, healthcare costs could end up being 80% of our budget. Yet we know that this is impossible.
We also know today that there are things that work about our health care system today, and many things that don't. I had a personal experience that helped hit home exactly what was wrong with Healthcare. 2 years ago, my younger sister, suffering from mental illness took her own life.
