I just can't imagine the succession of health ministers and deputy ministers who are within each province and they don't know this. They have money for almost everything else when it comes close to an election, but for something like this which is so common sense, there is no money. It's probably political will and an old system at work.
There's a company in Hamilton which I toured in the spring. They are a software company specifically for chronic health disease issues, specifically around diabetes and other issues. It's a great Canadian story about a female CEO. Guess where they sell all their products? They sell in the United States of America. I asked her why. It's pretty easy because Medicaid and Medicare have framed it so that doctors and the clinics they practise under are forced to have a system where patients who have left the hospital don't go back because they aren't following their diet with respect to chronic diseases.
You asked a question around why not our provinces in this country. There's no system in place to allow to pay for these devices to be implemented and help. There's a high rate of uptake. There's a high rate of success. In the United States they're signing up thousands and thousands of patients every month, yet we have a system here where we can't do anything about it.
What do we do to break through here? It's almost like all the answers are there, but it's just that nobody has the will to get it done.
