Notwithstanding high taxes, enormous
expenditures, and many promises, the standard of health care services provided
by successive Ontario governments has continued to deteriorate. Medicare cannot be continued without changes from
the current form of unrestrained demand for “free” services coupled with
central bureaucratic planning and government mandated supply restrictions. Growing private sector involvement will help,
but competitively priced, widely accessible, high quality health care will only
be available for everyone to the extent state involvement is eliminated. Since this cannot be accomplished overnight
without some short term hardship, transition measures will be needed. However, ultimately everyone will be
personally responsible for their own health care in a libertarian free market
system.
