I know I look at the state of healthcare in my province (NB, but I figure it's the same across the country) and get worried every time I see my parents. Unlike many, they're lucky to have a good family doctor, but he's nearing retirement himself, and then what? Their hair keeps getting grayer, the wrinkles add up on their faces, and the outlook for senior care keeps getting bleaker and bleaker. It feels like I'm inevitably going to watch them suffer to their graves.
Both my parents are gone now but the way you're describing things ... we're next in line for that elderly care.
My worry is, what the hell is going to be left for people who are soon to become elderly?
I'm in northern Ontario which often times feels no different than our Maritime cousins as all our services are going down the tubes.
No matter what anyone says .. I'll always vote NDP ... even as they wheel me away to my hallway to leave me to drool for hours, I'll always vote for humanity no matter what anyone says.
