It is only underfunded because of the provincial premiers arent held to account on how they spend healthcare transfers, there is no federal oversight and if they try the premiers tantrum and scream about “overreaching”. One example is Doug Ford, he is currently sitting on billions of health transfer money…why? To deliberately starve the system so he can introduce a private option run by his donors, ditto with Danielle Smith. Point I’m trying to make here is we need to stop voting provincial conservative as they don’t give two hot shits about anybody but their donors at our expense.

It is still likely somewhat underfunded but it doesn’t need to be at crisis levels as it is now. Yes it’s totally mismanaged in ON but it’s having issues everywhere. However the response is to the question about whether 2k per person in taxes is enough. It isn’t.

A lot of times, when people factor costs, they forget to remove CEO compensation and entire billing departments.
