It seems that the state of the health system in Canada is getting Terminal, no doubt it will be the same for all those other countries that are experiencing the rise in Cancer rates. `
The problem with socialized medicine is that to make it work you need a large healthy working population. Some countries with small populations can make due because when the population of the whole country is under 6 million or so then the State can offset a good deal and not go bankrupt.
What is happening is the boomers and Gen X are getting old and retiring the younger workers are just not in the numbers needed and many younger people want to silently quit too. This creates an upside-down system and it goes broke as we have been seeing.

I've always wondered why dental is separate from medical health. Oral health is so often tied to heart health.

As a bit of a side note with regards to what you get told in the UK through the media. I noticed that The royals Kate and William were telling everyone to get vaxed in an ad......but there seems to have been a development which I find suspicious, The royal watchers in Spain claim ..and they have been right in the past, that Catherine's illness is worse than is being made out in public they claim this has come from a source in the Palace and that she is in a coma cancer was mentioned, is this a case of Turbo cancer? .
So it is strange that the Queen Prince Phillip is now dead when they should have lasted at least a bit longer. Mabey not but watch this space.

King Charles is an old man who has undergone a routine procedure for an enlarged prostate.
Kate has just been discharged. "Turbo cancer"?!! Nope.

Look at all the changes in the chemicals used to process and protect our foods, it takes many generations for our metabolism to adapt to a few changes, yet we have altered all of this in the last thirty years a lot. Even what our ancestors age fifty years ago is not the same as it is today, fertilizers and pesticides reduce the plant defense system chemicals a plant makes that actually can be used to help protect us if used in proper moderation. Now these protective chemicals in food are way less...our food has changed way too much in recent decades, we cannot adapt in one or two generations.

Poor planning or no planning for the incoming baby boomers more like it.

They can plan all they want, it is just not sustainable. I like the idea that much of the world has adopted and that is smaller clinics run by nurses with a doctor on call. 30-dollar cash business, zero insurance anything and they do well. In and out in 15 minutes. This would work for 80% of our medical needs, so then all one would need is catastrophic insurance.
