Crisis in Care: 6.5 million Canadians don't have a primary care provider. A public forum on the crisis in primary care and how to resolve the shortage of family doctors, hosted by @mattgallowaycbc https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-63/clip/15964728 via @TheCurrentCBC
Here's @docdanielle saying it clearly: “I cannot think of a single good reason why we wouldn’t aim to have 100% of Canadians who want it attached to a family doctor or nurse practitioner.”
Apparently we all have to say this louder.

Tuesday’s meeting of Canada’s top leaders was little more than a gathering of pencil-pushing accountants, each trying to burnish their bottom line.

Can't say it better than @picardonhealth "What we need from our leaders is some true leadership, for example a firm commitment that every Canadian will have ready access to a primary care provider... an initiative we could cost out, invest in & measure its progress in real time." https://twitter.com/picardonhealth/status/1623107181485690880
