Paxton Francis never imagined he'd be at the centre of a battle ensuring his ailing mother receives the best care possible during her nearly five months in hospital.

There are 4 different posts about the Canadian healthcare system being under strain right now on my feed. Yโ€™all doing alright?

So far we're kind of getting by.

I don't hold out much hope, though, because the rich, the powerful, and the politicians all seem to want strictly private healthcare while the vast majority of the population wants not just effective and accessible public healthcare, but to expand coverage to dental, vision, hearing, and pharmaceuticals.

Never mind the hardships that come from transitioning to a different system, the usual result of this kind of disconnect is violent revolution.
