Shawn Whatley: ‘Noses in fingers out’ — How Danielle Smith could transform health care abpoli ableg
Herein lies the opportunity.
A health insurance company is not the same as a health management organization. The federal Medical Care Act nationalized Canada’s health insurance companies. Governments took control of the health insurance industry, and insurance companies went out of the insurance business. The insurance companies never were in the managed care business.
Most conservative governments seem to ignore this by intention. Having been beaten in the out-of-pocket fight, conservatives shrug and get on with managing like a Liberal or an NDP. They tweak and twiddle the levers of control, adjusting regulations, programing, and funding allocations. Conservatives avoid obvious progressive social policies, but it can be impossible to tell the difference in the clinic or at the bedside.
Governments, like boards of directors, need to know what is going on , but they cause chaos when they meddle . Keeping “noses in fingers out” of health care has been hard for Conservative governments — impossible for Liberals and NDP.
