The CMA says governments are debating who’s responsible for paying for health systems but that the people who need care and those who provide it are lost in the discussion. Its budget analysis illustrates areas of common interest that could serve as a starting point for funding and reforming healthcare. It shows all provinces and territories are prioritizing healthcare, budgeting an average increase of 4.4% in health spending, five times higher than the overall average budget increase. The CMA warns injecting more money into broken systems won’t resolve the crisis and it believes the report’s a starting point for reform.
