It is time for taxpayers to speak up loudly about our health care. We pay to support this system and those who work in it.
Elect those who are willing to step out of the status quo and not keep putting Band-Aids on a health model that no longer works in this day and age.
Long surgical wait lists for years, not months; shortened MRI wait times that do not necessarily mean expedited treatment; surgeons (highly skilled and knowledgeable) leaving our country with the best in their subspecialties having reduced operating-room days. This is not access to timely care.
Who wins? Most certainly not the patients. Outdated ideology does not create quality of life.
It鈥檚 time for 91原创s to demand a new model in which patients 鈥� the taxpayers 鈥� have the right to advocate for themselves and choose.
