    I’m curious, do you work in healthcare? Healthcare adjacent? Where did you acquire your expertise on the funding and operations of healthcare?

    I worked in healthcare at one of Canada’s largest hospitals - in finance. The pay is below average, even in upper management. Right sizing salaries to industry standards has forever been pushed back because there isn’t money for it. There are structural funding deficits. Models haven’t been revisited in 15, 20 plus years. Every year there are austerity measures taken - services cut or capital spend deferred.

    Even with an external financial review of the hospital operations and finances, run in conjunction with the Ministry Of Health, it was found that it couldn’t get much more efficient - that additional funding was needed to cover the gap.

    But of course there is no funding forthcoming.

      Appeal to authority to someone else. I am making a habit of avoiding speaking to people who open their comments with logical fallacy. Feel free to try again because I stopped reading here.
