Opinion: Horgan offers tart reminder to Ottawa about who delivers health care in this country
Premier John Horgan doesn’t dispute the mounting evidence of a health-care system that’s not working as it should for patients and practitioners alike.
Some 100,000 newcomers have moved to B.C. last year, noted Horgan, and that puts a strain on our health care system. “I have been arguing with the federal government that we need a massive infusion of cash from Ottawa for our health-care programs here in Canada,” said Horgan.Article content “But I think we need to start with first principles, and that is stable funding so that we can do the hip replacements, we can have a human resource strategy for our primary care sector.
“I appreciate that Mr. Singh and Mr. Trudeau came to an arrangement between their two caucuses about how they would proceed,” said Horgan.
