Jean Charest will fundamentally reform our healthcare system with a new National Healthcare Act, and ensure we never are forced into lockdown again.
If you support what I stand for, make a donation.
The Canadian Healthcare system is on life support.
When other countries reopened, Canadians were left to endure rolling lockdowns because our healthcare system was unable to cope.
In every category, from ICU and hospital beds, to doctors, to wait times for basic procedures, Canada has fallen behind.
We’re spending more, and getting worse healthcare outcomes.
Justin Trudeau has shown little determination or interest in reforming our healthcare system, even after two long years of pandemic restrictions.
It’s time to untie the hands of the provinces from government overreach, and let them evolve their own unique systems based on local needs.
We have a plan that will fundamentally reform our healthcare system.
It starts with our healthcare workers. They have sacrificed so much in the last two years. It’s time they get the resources they desperately need to save lives. We need more of them.
We have a shortage of healthcare workers, and we’ll address this by:
- Prioritizing healthcare workers applying for entry and residence in Canada.
- Giving provinces the ability to bring in an unlimited number of trained healthcare workers.
- Enabling healthcare workers to have the freedom to work in any province they choose.
As we overcome the shortage of healthcare workers, we also need to help provinces address the current limitations of our healthcare institutions by:
- Reforming the Canada Health Act to empower provinces to innovate in collaboration with the private sector, while maintaining our universal public healthcare model.
- Reducing cancellations of surgeries and procedures by shifting those that don’t need to be done in hospitals like MRIs, knee and hip replacements and cataract surgeries out of hospitals, and into private delivery options paid for through the public system.
- Removing barriers for entrepreneurs and private healthcare providers to augment our healthcare system with the goal of delivering more innovation, better outcomes, and tackling the wait times that are preventing Canadians from accessing healthcare.
- Maintaining the 3% annual increase to the Canada Health Transfer, and by creating a $10 billion Healthcare Infrastructure Fund to invest in our hospitals and long-term care.
