Canada's top medical journal says Harper is undermining public health care
http://www.pressprogress.ca/canadas_top_medical_journal_says_harper_is_undermining_public_health_careDate Written: 2015-08-19 Publisher: Press Progress Year Published: 2015 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX17826 The current issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal features an editorial written by Deputy Editor Dr. Matthew Stanbrook slamming the Harper Conservatives for weakening public health care in Canada. "For much of the last decade, Canadian federal health policy has been conspicuous by its absence," Stanbrook says, adding "in recent years, the federal government has neglected [its health care] responsibilities, even when courts have ordered them to do otherwise." The Conservatives are undermining and under-funding Canada's public healthcare system, spurning collaboration with the provinces and essentially removing the federal government from the health care business, Stanbrook suggests.
