This would definitely be a good time to make the case to the public for more investment. I'm just concerned about the back and forth on health care administration that occurs everytime a new party comes into power. Just think of the resources that went into setting up LHINs, which seemed to make good sense, only to see them dissolved a few years later. With a public system we avoid the suck on resources that private insurers contribute, but we seem to make up for it in administrative costs and constant re-organizations. I'd really like to see less political interference in those details.
