Horwath Invokes Health Care Sacred Cow, Delivers Load of Bull
It would do our province and patients some good if we looked at ways different funding and delivery models could improve our system rather than constantly calling on the sacred cow of public universal health care
The problem with calling on sacred cows is that the result is often a load of bull. That's what taxpayers got with the NDP's not-so-bombshell release of leaked draft health-care legislation in Ontario.
On Jan. 31, NDP leader Andrea Horwath released draft health-care legislation her party had obtained through a leak from an Ontario bureaucrat. Horwath held a press conference where she outlined what she called the Progressive Conservatives' secret plan to privatize health care.
It's precisely these kinds of claims that make improving healthcare in Canada so challenging.
