I have been reflecting on my last article on
Ken Fyke's prescriptions, and today I realize how deceptive these
prescriptions are in obscuring the causes of our health care crisis,
that is our decadent and ossified leadership.
Fyke has stated that more money in the
system will not cure health care, and this is contrary to all the
previous statements maintained by former premier Roy Romanow. And
the irony of our social decadent predicament is that today we have
Roy Romanow leading a $15 million Royal Commission on health care.
So while no more money is going to go for direct patient care, more
money is going to go for Roy Romanow's retirement plan to lead
another commission.
Ken Fyke acknowledges that health care is
grossly mismanaged and that we need to focus on quality rather than
quantity; and in this respect he states that we could be saving some
35% of our health care expenditures if we could improve the quality
of our system. And how does Fyke improve our quality in health care?
Fyke improves our quality not in addressing the direct consequences
of the present mismanagement but in reorganizing and downsizing the
system at the approximate cost of $100 million.
Therefore, the possible consequences of the
implementation of Fyke's prescriptions would be, more downsizing,
more mismanagement, and more misspending in health care.
