HE IS GOING TO TAKE OUR NATIONAL HEALTHCARE NEXT. EVEN CONS CARE ABOUT THIS. Are we happy to have 14 autonomous health systems – the provinces, territories and the federal system (for indigenous peoples, the Canadian Forces and RCMP) – or do we want some semblance of a national system? For if we dont want 14 separate systems now is the time to speak out. A fundamental choice awaits us: Do we want a national medicare system or not? It’s not a decision that should be made in the backrooms or, worse yet, by default. Because Stephen Harper doesnt want one national medicare system. Hes made that abundantly clear over the years. Each province should raise its own revenue for health care – i.e., replace Canada Health and Social Transfer cash with tax points.” (Stephen Harper, ‘Firewall’ letter, January 24, 2001) Knowing full well that if medicare is reduced to a patchwork of unequal systems, the poorer provinces will be forced to reduce services or privatize them. Something he also supports. montrealsimon.blogspot.ca/2014/03/stephen-harper-and-stealthy-war-on.html#more
