Canada’s vanishing health care crisis
last week. It was just a few days ago that the provinces were sounding dire warnings about the imminent collapse of medicare unless Ottawa handed them tens of billions of dollars to inject into the system. The federal Liberals, instead, gave them only billions of dollars.that free money. But they are not yet rushing to spend their own, if fiscal updates that landed this week are anything to go by. Or, if you prefer another measure, the provinces’ recent spending history.
Those spending projections include the amounts that Ottawa gives the provinces under the Canada Health Transfer; provincial increases are even less impressive than they first seem. But the point is that the pace of health care spending is set to slow significantly this year, even as the premiers ramped up the pressure on Ottawa to splash federal cash their way.
It’s unlikely that Ontario and New Brunswick are outliers. So far, the provinces have been much more focused on prying cash from Ottawa than spending their own money.
