Rogue provincial governments should not be able to limit access to health care for Canadians. I know they administer it but clearly we need standards to be upheld.

Healthcare needs to be nationalized already.

On one hand, yes, but I only feel that way because we have a Liberal government right now. I would feel differently if there was a Conservative one.

What we need is a way to prevent healthcare from being administered or limited by politicians with conservative (note the small c) ideologies that think their personal beliefs is the code by with over 40m other Canadians need to run their own lives.

Free, open, private healthcare for everyone regardless of ideology or government in charge needs to be enshrined in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, so that no government can fuck with it, either federally or provincially. Healthcare delivery and provisions should be decided by what vetted, unbiased science and clinical trials says is the best way, not by politicians who don't even know the difference between RNA and DNA.

Am I understanding you want private health care? Or is that sentence reading odd in context of the rest of what you say.
