"On health care, the iconic issue, the Liberal position is unconscionable. As a probable government, in order to move the province ahead, it would have to admit that the NDP has made important progress, but not enough, and elaborate a plan to move it further. Instead, it wants to chuck it all out and start all over with a scheme to trash the regional health boards and create a superboard in Halifax. Dexter has the backing of the experts in this: it’s a scheme to return to upset and chaos. Besides, the NDP has already reduced administration costs by some 23 per cent and promises more, and administration is a minor part of health costs. Fretting about administration, as health reformer Dr. John Ross has put it, simply diverts attention from the real problems." thechronicleherald.ca/opinion/1158613-surette-ndp-set-wiser-course-grits-navigate-shallows
