We have to talk about the money, especially when you consider the population is aging. Right now one in six are seniors, and soon we will have one in four.
While I think doing palliative care in one way or another is less expensive and there are cost savings to be had, I wouldn't want you to get the impression that it would be cheap. This is going to be a huge need. The government will have to decide how to pace that effort, especially when you consider the $3 billion originally pledged by the health minister. She sees that home care is a way you can easily start spending that money without having any infrastructure in place. Infrastructure might be the next logical step, and then we'd be branching out from there.
