The other issue besides those laid out by Doug are that we have too many sick people. Part of the "solution" is to look at ways to reduce this component of the issue. Better quality food (less sugar/salts/transfats), more information (though it seems there is enough?), a stronger economy, higher minimum wages, so people can afford to eat better. These suggestions may, combined with other solutions, help in the next 10+ years get us closer to making headway on this national crisis.
As an Albertan, I am hoping that interprovincial cooperation will expose weaknesses of our health organization and positively influence it in a better (service oriented) direction. Hopefully the resolution to the Corrupt Care scandal comes sooner than too late to prevent permanent damage of mismanagement.
