@ siva there are lots of people lobbying against this change...

Singhson,
I agree with what you say...There are situations on both sides
Once I become a citizen I will actively participate / volunteer or directly involve for these following causes.
a. Immigration policy and system changes
b. Health policy and system reforms
c. Education reforms
d. Alberta eco preservation

Once my wife comes I will sufficient time and I also forming a multicultural informal group here in Calgary do some activism.
I came here for a better future if I have kids!

What changes do you think we need in the health care sector?

 

[singhson]

thats good to hear. I've been involved with the healthcare system and now trying to get involved with the immigration policies. whenever you decide to volunteer or help out, there are few people I know in calgary, politically well connected that can get you involved to see if that is your cup of tea. I never use to like politics but few years ago i was like if i don't say anything or voice my opinion or participate in the process/elections than i don't have the right to complain about the system either

I feel the health care system is overloaded and there is shortage of specialists in canada. There shoulde be some privitization of the health care system specially for consultations so that the patient don't have to wait for months to see a specialist.

 

[singhson]

its only gonna get worse with reduced funding and aging population. Alberta is planning to try something different in regards to getting foreign trained doctors into the system As for privatization that can't happen unless federal healthcare act is amended and that potentially can be challenged by charter of rights so very difficult thing to do. Right now there are some privatization of services like the MRI, you can pay i think $500 to get an MRI done in private clinic but thats not for everyone. Essential services (like life threatening)will never be privatized, elective surgeries can be and some have eg knee surgeries but one province cannot do it and no one is ready for a two tier health care system.

Alberta is trying out the new Primary care network and it seems to be working a little bit so lets see how that pans out. its unfortunate but for a system of this grand scale it will take time to change. I was involved with the core committee when Alberta Heart Institute got built for over $200 Million and group of us raised $2.4 Million to build the guru Nanak Dev Healing garden within AHI few years ago. AHI has helped the system quite a bit taking pressure away from other hospitals in the system.

But to your point, there is need for some privatization but people are not ready for it and it won’t be affordable. eg will someone pay $100000 for a knee replacement? or would they prefer to get it done for free? a kidney replacement for a visitor in canada without health care will cost upwards of $150K to $200K

I feel the health care system is overloaded and there is shortage of specialists in canada. There shoulde be some privitization of the health care system specially for consultations so that the patient don't have to wait for months to see a specialist.

 

[sivathegreat]

What changes do you think we need in the health care sector?

Quantitative reforms.
Currently wait times are very high from the casual visitor to a major Knee Surgery
We need to look at the supply vs demand data and the government action plan and commitment.
And need to know where we are going. How is the current plan and policy.
are they implemented or just a "hog wash"

What is the benchmark?

Are you Physiotherapist?
My sister is one

Overloading is not correct.
Under supplied is correct.

Privatization, i dont understand North American ideology
They are so much against communism and socialism
Everything is privatised including Electric Supply

Why not health care?
There are vested interests.
