I don't disagree, but the reality is, the current system is unsustainable.     So hard choices need to be made.

Personally, I advocate some form of user fee, just to keep the consumer (us) with some skin in the game.    How this user fee is implemented has many different possibilities - and it's possible to do this in a way that is fair for lower income Canadians.     In addition to this, there has to be more value out of our health system and a reduction in duplication of effort.    Even at the Provincial level there is a lot of duplication - Eg:   just look at individual hospital or hospital group executives.    Why does every hospital need a CEO and an executive structure?    They need a local "Plant manager" and other functions can be singular at the Provincial level.
