So he wants to defund an already under funded health care system, but pay private companies lots of many to provide health care instead? Did I get that right?

No, you misunderstand. Private clinics are much more effective at channeling money into the pockets of specific people (the owners) instead of a larger system.
So that's when it'll trickles down to us, right? When we're all fucking unable to work and on long term disability.

It's cute that you think there will be LTD available. You'll just be tossed into the street and replaced by the next person.
Yeah sure… whatever, whatever it is you say in the future. Money today! Money now. That’s the most important step.
I’ll gladly pay you tomorrow.
For my hamburger today? But whitespot charged me 24$ for this hamburger... I had a coupon.
Our system is absolutely in crisis and my partner can't wait more than a year to have a functional hip again (they're currently wheelchair bound and not even sixty)... We'll probably get private care abroad because like fuck are we going to fund local doctors running private clinics.
This is a funding issue - can these conservative fucks not see how absolutely shitty the US's healthcare system is? I used to live under that system and you'd just ignore problems until they got really bad because health isn't free.
We can do better, it absolutely will cost more than we're spending now but it's fucking worth it. Health is literally the one thing you can't fucking skimp on if you want a good life.
It’s called gaslighting honey
Rustad's promises, three months before the provincial election, also include compensating health workers who lost their jobs for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Damn you gotta give it to the Conservatives for finding new and imaginative ways to piss away money.
The only thing they conserve is a myopic worldview.
So instead of using money to fund the healthcare system, they want to give it to people who shouldn't be in the healthcare system?
We have safety nets for people who lose their jobs, I was recently on EI for 3 months, these idiots don't need special treatment beyond that.
John Rustad is great at wasting money
Why would I want to spend hours and hundreds of dollars to leave my province for healthcare? What sort of clown-speak is this?
He needs to get in the clown car and drive away from BC politics since he resents the province so much.
Conservatives love to ruin fully functional solutions so they can pretend only for profit systems work
