The BC health care system employs about 300,000 people. Think about that. Tofino employs about maybe less than 100. Do you remember what a fucking mess she made of Tofino when she was mayor. So we ship her to Victoria and put her in charge of ..... OMG!! What were we thinking!! When she was elected, waiting times at the Tonquin clinic were about a week. Today, it's about three times as long. Coincidence?
Every visit to the doctor, every emergency-room wait, every surgical delay, is being funded by taxpayers who are paying record taxes for a system ranked near the bottom among developed nations. According to the Fraser Institute, Canada now ranks 28th out of 29 countries with universal healthcare systems—despite being one of the biggest spenders. It has among the longest surgical wait times in the developed world and some of the fewest physicians per capita.
This is what “free” looks like: 6.5 million Canadians without a family doctor, median wait times of 30 weeks between referral and specialist consultation, and hospitals so overcrowded that patients are treated in hallways. Yet Ottawa’s immigration ads are telling foreigners that healthcare here is free.
Island Health says the intensive care unit (ICU) at the West Coast General Hospital (WCGH) in Port Alberni will be closed indefinitely starting Nov. 20, until a staffing shortage can be resolved.
The indefinite closure is due to a shortage of specialty-trained registered nurses and physicians, according to the health authority.
