mcguinty on health care reform

D - promising. Devil is in the details, though.

Mr. Drummond will recommend that health care be spared from spending reductions. But the level of increases – at roughly 2 per cent a year – will be well below historic levels of 7 per cent.

D - that is some tough love.

I wish the Liberals would stop dropping the word 'investing' into every speech. I'm sure some thinktank group decided it was a word that received a positive emotional reaction from the public.
But I don't like feeling like I'm getting my emotional hot buttons punched.

Some things aren't an 'investment' - they're an expense.
Education is an investment. End of life health care is money you'll never see again. It might be justified on humanitarian grounds, but never on economic ones. The word INVESTMENT is the wrong word.
