  • As health ministers gather tomorrow, we’re again hearing about rising and “unstainable” public health care costs. Nonsense. In fact, Canadians’ public health care spending is going down.
  • Yet, despite the facts from Canada’s foremost authority, a recent opinion piece by the right-wing MacDonald-Laurier Institute again tells us “Canada’s health-care system is fiscally unsustainable.”

  • Though Canadians’ public health care costs are down, we still spend a lot, $155 billion last year. And when you include private spending – all your out-of-pocket and private-insurance health costs – the total was $219 billion.
  • Frightening Canadians about “unsustainable” health care might be nonsense, but not pointless. If you frighten people enough they’ll even cheer a government that cuts health care. It’s been successful before.
  • The 5% shift was good news for private health companies. It gave Chretien room to make big corporate tax cuts. Everybody wins – except Canadians. And among us, sick, older, poor and working class Canadians were surely hit hardest.
  • But now at 71% publicly-paid, Canadian health care is more private than Germany (76% public), France (79% public), Japan (83%) or the UK (87%).
  • Remember, Trudeau’s first act in the Commons was to spend $4 billion a year on a tax cut with maximum benefit to incomes between $90,000 and $200,000.
